From the recording American Girl
Lyrics
For a long time I never knew what it meant
To hurt when you hurt or to lift you when you’re down
So many years you never let me in
So hard to love a man too proud when I’m around
So on that warm, summer night in June, I said
Take care of yourself I hope you have a good life
Oh, Superman has finally fallen
No more building walls with your bare hands
Oh, Superman has finally fallen
And your pain is so beautiful to me
Was about time that my words finally met
The place in your heart you’ve always tried to hide
You turned away when the tears filled your eyes
I reach for your hand, please let me see you cry
So on that warm, summer night in June, you said
Please don’t leave me cuz I need you by my side
(Chorus)
Oh, baby thank you
For bearing your soul to me
I just want to thank you
For giving me you
(Chorus)
