Broken Dreams of War

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

I heard you came back into town
Your name cuts deep, still spins me around
You left to escape, I let you go
But I never healed — thought you should know

We were fire we couldn’t control
Burned too hot, burned a hole in my soul
You were my world, I played the fool
Now I’d give anything to bend the rules

Let me be your Superman
Even if I’m barely standin’
I’ll fight through the wreckage, the pain
Just to hold you once again
You needed saving — so did I
Now I’m ready to bleed or fly

You wear your past like a quiet war
I see it in the way you close your door
But I remember when you used to shine
Before the world drew the crooked line

They said we were just too young
But age never taught me what I’d done
I broke your trust, now here you are
I’d cross every scar just to restart

Let me be your Superman
Not some boy who ran and ran
I’ll take the blame, take the fall
If it gets me through your wall
You needed truth, not fairy tales
I’m the one who knows where love fails

No cape, no flight, no perfect guy
Just a man who still can't say goodbye
But if there’s one breath left in this fight
I’ll use it now — I’ll make it right

Let me be your Superman
Even if it’s not the plan
Even if you walk away
I’ll still beg for you to stay
You needed more than I could give
But I swear I’ve learned how to live

If I’m too late, just say it straight
I’ll carry that — I’ll own my fate
Let me be your Superman,
Even if I break where I stand.
No cape, no flight — just heart and hands,
Built to love you, not make demands.

If I’m not the one you choose,
I’ll still fight with nothing to lose.
‘Cause saving you was always the plan
Even if I'm just a broken man...
