"I will work harder" (animal farm boxer the horse)


V1
Do you ever wonder
Who you're supposed to be
When my world is in danger
Will you decide your destiny
Would you be my hero
That'll save me from my lonely days
Or would you be my worst enemy
That'll cast me away

Chorus

You think you're invincible
But I know you're incredible
But it's not right that you push me aside
And treat me like a waste of time.
You go and try to save Mary Jane
But you're superman and I'm Lois Lane!
I still don't know what's going on between us
But one thing's for sure- you're not everybody's hero.

V2
Would you answer to my call
Or would answer to my cries
And only come around
When I'm breaking down inside
Tell me boy, does it make you happy
To see me so lonely.
Take your crimson cape
And take me to our escape.
If you decide what's right.

Chorus

You think you're invincible
But I know you're incredible
But it's not right that you push me aside
And treat me like a waste of time.
You go and try to save Mary Jane
But you're superman and I'm Lois Lane!
I still don't know what's going on between us
But one thing's for sure- you're not everybody's hero.

Bridge
Does it ever come across your mind
That if the one you love is all right.
Or are caught up with all the attention
To even mention me and treat me like a distraction.
Do you even remember us?
How could you do this to me.
Woah, woah, woah oh.

Verse 3

Did you forget what I've told you
That everyone wants to get a hold of you
But it's hard to focus on it all
I guess this'll be your fall
Just remember this when the villain in you wins
It's not your fault but sadly this is the way it ends.
You were just trying to save the ones you love
Even if it meant forgetting us

Chorus

You think you are invincible
But I know you're incredible
But it's not right that you push me aside
And treat me like a waste of time.
You go and try to save Mary Jane
But you're superman and I'm Lois Lane!
I still don't know what's going on between us
But one thing's for sure- you're not everybody's hero

Well, first off, this poem is in the point of view of a girl who is constantly ignored by her boyfriend. (Yes I wrote it)

Hey soul! I like that you're changing it up a bit and posting some songs! Usually when I read songs I find that they closely follow songs playing on the radio as far as lyrics, I'm glad to see that you didn't. I see where you put your own spin to it and I also see your poetic side to it. I like the title and it goes very nicely with the song. This song reminds me of something, but I can't figure out what that is right now. Anyways, I love the chorus and the Superman refrence is very catchy and sticks with the reader. Bravo to you!
