Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody wants a hero, everybody wants a savior
Wants me flying in to fix their every kind of behavior
But I ain't got a cape, I ain't got the perfect story
I'm just a man who's tired, chasing after my own glory
You want the fairy tale, you want the perfect ending
But real life doesn't come with all the pieces bending
I'll be honest with you now before it goes too far
I ain't the hero type, I'm just a man, not a star
I got my own scars, I got my own battles too
Can't be everything you dreamed of, can't pretend I'm brand new
I'll give you what I can but don't expect the cape and boots
I'm learning my own lessons, chasing my own truths
[chorus]
I ain't no superman, I can't fly in and save the day
I'm just a man who's honest, gotta be that way
Don't need the cape or title, don't need the crown
Just need somebody real who won't let me down
[verse]
Every time I try to be the picture that you want
I lose a little more of who I really am upfront
I ain't perfect, never claimed I had it figured out
I'm just trying to be honest, trying to work it out
If you want somebody perfect, you should keep on looking
'Cause I'm just a regular man, not a story in a book, kid
I got flaws and I got moments where I fall apart
But I'm trying, and that's honest, straight from the heart
[chorus]
I ain't no superman, I can't fly in and save the day
I'm just a man who's honest, gotta be that way
Don't need the cape or title, don't need the crown
Just need somebody real who won't let me down
[bridge]
No disguise, no secret power, just a man who's trying
No pretending everything's alright when I'm inside crying
Take me as I really am or let me walk away
I ain't the hero in your movie, I'm just living day to day
[chorus]
I ain't no superman, I can't fly in and save the day
I'm just a man who's honest, gotta be that way
Don't need the cape or title, don't need the crown
Just need somebody real who won't let me down
