"Idle Worship"

Standing here like I'm supposed to say something

Don't hold your breath, I never said I'd save you, honey

And I don't want your money

If I was you I'd run from me or

Rip me open you'll see you're not the only one who's hopeless

Be sure to put your faith in something more

I'm just a girl and you're not as alone as you feel

We all got problems, don't we?

We all need heroes, don't we?

But rest assured there's not a single person here who's worthy

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don't let me let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down

Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall

Down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on

What if I fall on my face?

What if I make a mistake?

If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated

Remember how we used to like ourselves?

What little light that's left, we need to keep it sacred

I know that you're afraid to let all the dark escape you

But we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Just let me let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, no, I ain't your hero

You're wasting all your faith on me

Oh, no, I know where this goes

Think it's safe to say your savior doesn't look a thing like me

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don't let me let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down
