I'm No Superhero

i can't fly
or break down buildings
i might not be able to run
faster than a speeding train

because i'm no superhero
nor an angel
but that won't stop me
trying to fix things

to make sure that everyone's alright
i'll keep trying
till everything works out
for the better

putting my life on hold
so that i can see more smiles
on the faces
of those whom i love

Not Mine

i saw her leaving the bar
with him
his arms wrapped around her

i turn around to talk to my date
so that i'd distract myself
from thinking about her

his lips on hers
his hands on her hips
these thoughts invade my mind

i look away
and think to myself
why i always desire
someone else's girl
