[Verse 1] Yeah, they taught us early, boy, you better stand tall Even when the floor's caving and you feel like you might fall Bills stacked on the table, pride stuck in your throat You swallow every worry so nobody else has to choke You show up to work with yesterday still on your back Clock in, clock out, come home, still under attack From the voice in your head that keeps asking if you're enough While you keep pouring from a cup that's been empty for months They say talk about your feelings, then look at you different Like a man with a crack is a man who ain't lifting So you bury it deeper, put the smile on your face Be the rock, be the roof, be the damn hiding place And if you ever break down they just call it a phase Then go right back to asking what you brought home today [Chorus] No phone booth, no warning, just get up and fly Catch a falling world with no one asking why Steel in my chest, blood on my hands This must be what it feels like to be Superman Kryptonite quiet, living in my bones Still got to lift the city all alone Cape made of bills, heart in a jam This must be what it feels like to be Superman [Verse 2] You learn real quick that love can look like a list Rent, lights, food, and don't you dare miss You can hold her all night and still feel unseen 'Cause the measure of you is the life that you bring Your son watches close, every move that you make So you hide all the shaking so he don't learn to break Your daddy did the same, never showed you the cost Now you carry his silence like a cross that he lost You fight in your head when the house finally sleeps Trade rest for the grind just to keep what you keep And God forbid you ask for a hand or a pause They'll swear you're the problem for feeling at all [Chorus] No phone booth, no warning, just get up and fly Catch a falling world with no one asking why Steel in my chest, blood on my hands This must be what it feels like to be Superman Kryptonite quiet, living in my bones Still got to lift the city all alone Cape made of bills, heart in a jam This must be what it feels like to be Superman [Verse 3] There's a war in your chest that don't ever get named You show up for everybody, then you bleed just the same They'll toast you when you win, disappear when you slip Then act like your worth is a paycheck and grip You can build the whole house and still feel like a guest Give the best of your years and get judged for the rest So you keep your head down, keep the promise you swore Even when that old engine don't want to run no more And if they only love you for the weight that you hold You'll still pick it back up 'cause that's how you were told That's the part they don't see when they talk about strong It's a man staying standing long after he's gone [Chorus] No phone booth, no warning, just get up and fly Catch a falling world with no one asking why Steel in my chest, blood on my hands This must be what it feels like to be Superman Kryptonite quiet, living in my bones Still got to lift the city all alone Cape made of bills, heart in a jam This must be what it feels like to be Superman
