Would it shock you to know that I have needs to
That this smiling face you see isnt as strong as you think
That even though I don’t come in a small package, Im still fragile
Or stop to think that I might like to be coddled a little, just once
But id never clue you in to that
Because I would never hand you a loaded gun
Ive been shot down before
And I feel cheated that I cant let myself be seen in need
Simply because that doesn’t fit into your ideal of me
If you stopped to think about something other than your own needs
You might see that im vulnerable
The weight of your world is crushing me
Cant you see that my super hero cape has become a noose?
What you think is me flying to your rescue is really not
If you cared to look closer, you would notice my legs where dangling
That this smiling face you see isnt as strong as you think
That even though I don’t come in a small package, Im still fragile
Or stop to think that I might like to be coddled a little, just once
But id never clue you in to that
Because I would never hand you a loaded gun
Ive been shot down before
And I feel cheated that I cant let myself be seen in need
Simply because that doesn’t fit into your ideal of me
If you stopped to think about something other than your own needs
You might see that im vulnerable
The weight of your world is crushing me
Cant you see that my super hero cape has become a noose?
What you think is me flying to your rescue is really not
If you cared to look closer, you would notice my legs where dangling
