Lyrics
HOLD UP THE SKY
by Helga Kaefer
I'm no superhero
No I can't fly
Take off those rosy glasses
They're telling you lies
Take me down
Off your shelf
I'm just a trophy
In your head . . . oh
I'm trying to get out of your mind
CHORUS:
I can't hold up the sky
Can't hold up the sky
Anymore for you
Cause the moon and stars collide
Every time I try
They all fall down
I can't hold up the sky
I can't build your castle
You gotta let it go
I'm not so wonderful
I had to let you know
Let me down
Let me breathe
I'm no idol
I break and bleed . . . oh
I'm dying to get out of your mind
Repeat Chorus
BRIDGE:
I can't make your dreams come true
I've tried and tried
To be your whole world
But I'm not qualified
Repeat Chorus
