I am not a superhero and I'm not what you'd call strong
I can't see through you, sometimes I don't know right from wrong
I can't stop a speeding bullet, especially when it hits the heart
I can't stop this speeding locomotive
Sometimes it's hard to stop things once you start

I'm just counting my collection, doing the best that I can
I am not a superhero, I am an ordinary man, I am
I am an ordinary man

I'm not even close to perfect, I can't turn water into wine
I don't think I walk on water and I can't read what's on your mind
I can't resurrect what is dead, I can't heal what is broken
'Cause I am not a God of any kind
I can't take back the words I've spoken

So it's come down to this you've won again
Chalk one up cause it's not fair
Chalk one up for my delusion
And chalk one up for letting myself care
Superhero's don't end up like this
For them everything turns out all right
But I am not a superhero and I am tired of the fight
