Jumping Out of Buildings

The day of your birth deserves something more
I don't know who I'm writing this for anymore
It's as if my heart split right in two and I feel like I've
Betrayed your trust but I've done nothing wrong up till now

I take a stand for what's right, but I know I'm just
Trying to convince myself not to fall apart as well

And I'll try to be everything that anyone would want
And you'd be wrong to think I'm not going to give it all I've got
Can I play the role of superhero, fly you to the moon
No, I won't be jumping out of buildings, at least anytime soon

My one hope is that you get what it is that you were
After I'm done here I'll walk away slowly then
Faster and faster, let's head for disaster because
Now that I'm not being myself, I can be someone else

And I've invented an alter ego of someone you would want
I'll wear the mask and make you think I am someone that I'm not
Please don't think of it as lying, I just want to be strong
'Cause I'd rather have you think I'm flying than have you see me fall

See me fall, see me fall, see me fall

I know that I am empty inside, but I'll pretend I'm fine
It's not that I don't trust your judgment, it's just I don't trust mine
Like accepting an award for a book I did not pen
If it isn't ok now, then could it have ever been

And I'll try to be everything that anyone would want
And you'd be wrong to think I'm not going to give it all I've got
Can I play the role of superhero, fly you to the moon
No, I won't be jumping out of buildings, at least anytime soon
