Second Thoughts

I save the day,

But nothing stays right.

When I drift asleep,

Another girl weeps

And shrieks in the dead of the night

I want to stay sleeping

I want to ignore

But I just zip into my costume and rush

Out the door

That little girl, startled, caught her breath

Looked at the man with an "S" on his chest

She didn't know this was the last time,

Any one person would see him alive

Then I locked up the villain and set the girl free

Then I thought, That's what I want to be!

Rid of my powers, rid of it all!

Not having to jump up at the sound of a call.

All of my secrets are causing me strife.

I don't want that all of my life!

I'm going to end the pain I feel,

There will be no more of the 'man of steel'

It will all end tonight.

This will be the last time,

I save the day.
