Lyrics

You played hero 
Put on your cape 
Grabbed my hand 
For the great escape
 (Never said I needed saving, no)

But I played along 
Let you sweep me off my feet
 Fly me around downtown
 Got me feeling invincible now…
(Don’t blink, you’re about to fall down)

‘Cause the bad guys always get away 
Don’t they? 
Don’t they?

Oh, I saw doomsday coming
Yeah, I watched you come in 
Saw the signs in the streets
 And the news on the TV

And the bad guys always get away 
Don’t they? (Don’t they?) 
Don’t they? 

You were  Superman to the world
 Just Kent to me
(At least to me)

You feigned hero for a short time 
Used your red cape  to cover white lies 
Just a boy  in a man’s disguise
 Guess I found your kryptonite 
Wish I hadn’t paid the price

But the bad guys always get away 
Don’t they? (Don’t they?) 
Don’t they? 

You can be  Superman to the world… 
Just Kent to me
(That’s your kryptonite)

I didn’t need a hero
 Just someone real and true 
But you’d rather wear your blue suit 
Than ever follow through 
When the cape comes off 
You’re out of sight 
Running from love like it’s kryptonite

The bad guys always get away 
Don’t they? (Don’t they?) 
Don’t they… 

Run from love like it’s kryptonite?

(Ooh)

Kryptonite

(Mmm)

Run from love…
Like it’s kryptonite
