[English]

I'm not wearing a cape, these are just regular clothes

And I'm praying to God, come on lessen this load

Smiling through the bad times, but it's all just for show

Saving my tears for when I'm alone

And I lose my mind every now and then

I break down big then I start again

Never, never said I'm a superwoman

Never said, I never said it

Never ever said I was more than coping

Never did, I never did

Maybe I'm mad, maybe I'm all cried out

Maybe I'm scared, but I'm coming 'round

No, I never, never said I'm a superwoman

Dropping the mask, uncovering my soul

Loving my scars, letting go of control

Seeing beauty through the ashes everywhere I go

One minute I'm strong, the next I don't know

And I lose my mind every now and then

I break down big then I start again

Never, never said I'm a superwoman

I never said, I never said it

Never ever said I was more than coping

I never did, I never did

Maybe I'm mad, and maybe I'm all cried out

And maybe I'm scared, but I'm coming 'round

No, I never, never said I was more than human

And I wish I could fly

Take me away

Take me away

Just fly

Up and escape sometimes

I wish I was strong

Stronger than this aching

It's breaking me down

And I never ever said I'm a superwoman

I never said, I never said it

Never ever said I was more than coping

I never did, I never did

And maybe I'm mad, I'm all cried out

And maybe I get scared, but I'll be coming 'round and 'round

And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

All cried out

And no I never ever said, oh

Coming 'round

No, no, I never ever said I'm a superwoman

I'm not superwoman
