Marry Me Jane - Superman Lyrics

i have tried
to make the best of everything
but i still cry
when i think about what might've been
no one can say
who you might be today...

you could've been superman
you could've been an idiot
you could've been the second coming
now we'll never know
you could've been superman...

fancy lies
to do what was best for everyone
i'd walk on the sky
if i could undo what we have done
you'd make me scared
but i'd take you everywhere...

you could've been superman
you could've been the start of something
you could've been my hero
now who the hell will know
you could've been superman

i see you in the dark
(though I try not to)
you're spitting in the well
and then you're old
cry your azure tear into my pocket
and i'll keep it
carry it like gold

you could've been superman
you could've been somebody's mother
you could've been the one exception
you could've been superman
(I could've let you down )
you could've been superman
(I could've screwed you up)
you could've been my hero
(no one can touch you now)
you could've been superman...

(I could've loved you
