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

But I'm gonna be the one to 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 ya

But we can 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

But I'm gonna be the one to 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 saviour 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

But I'm gonna be the one to 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

But I'm gonna be the one to let you down
