[Mood: Confident → Vulnerable | Atmosphere: Late-night lounge]
[Energy: Low → Medium]

[Intro | clean jazz guitar arpeggios | brushed snare | ride cymbal]
(Yeah...)
(Yeah...)

[Verse 1 | crooning delivery | walking bass | soft ride]
Concrete words just bounce off my chest~
I've watched every challenge put to the test
Steel-belted ego~~~, nothing gets through
I walk through the wreckage~, never worn blue

[Pre-Chorus | subtle bass climb | light tension]
They said find your weakness~
I laughed in their face
Nothing can touch me~
I've won every race

[Chorus | anthemic but relaxed | stacked harmonies | jazz guitar fills]
But you~~~ walked in
And the armor cracked
One look from you~
And I can't fight back

I'm SUPERMAN
Yeah, SUPERMAN
Till you smile~
Kryptonite in your pocket
And I'm just a man

[Post-Chorus | scat-inspired backing | soft brushes]
(Doo-ba-doo... just a man)
(Doo-ba-doo... just a man)

[Verse 2 | breathy delivery | intimate | piano joins]
I used to stare down the thunder alone~
Turned every scar into a throne
But your whisper cuts through the Kevlar skin~
And the god with no weakness is crumbling

[Pre-Chorus | rising but smooth | walking bass ascends]
They said find your weakness~
I laughed in their face
Now I'm on my knees~
In a crowded place

[Chorus | full band but restrained | trumpet soft fill]
But you~~~ walked in
And the armor cracked
One look from you~
And I can't fight back

I'm SUPERMAN
Yeah, SUPERMAN
Till you smile~
Kryptonite in your pocket
And I'm just a man

[Emotional release | full band but warm | not explosive]
[Belting but controlled]
But I'm bleeding now~
And you're not even trying~

[Final Chorus | Energy: Medium | warm | layered]
You~~~ walked in
And the towers fell
One whisper from you~
Is my personal hell

I'm SUPERMAN
Yeah, SUPERMAN
Till your voice~
Is the kryptonite in my pocket
And I'm less than human

[Outro | fade | sparse | piano and breath]
[Whisper]
Less than human.............

[Final jazz chord | piano | unresolved]
(Superman doesn't bleed... but I do)
