[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
La, la la la la la la
Don't let me let you down

[Chorus]
(Eh, eh, eh, eh)
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman (eh, eh, eh, eh)
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down (eh, eh, eh, eh)
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping (eh, eh, eh, eh)
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down

[Verse 2]
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 you
But we can let the light illuminate these hopeless places

[Pre-Chorus]
La, la la la la la la
Just let me let you down

[Chorus]
(Eh, eh, eh, eh)
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman (eh, eh, eh, eh)
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down (eh, eh, eh, eh)
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping (eh, eh, eh, eh)
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

[Bridge]
Oh, no, I ain't your hero (eh, eh, eh)
You're wasting all your faith on me
Oh, no, I know where this goes (eh, eh, eh)
Think it's safe to say your savior doesn't look a thing like me

[Pre-Chorus]
La, la la la la la la
Don't let me let you down

[Chorus]
(Eh, eh, eh, eh)
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman (eh, eh, eh, eh)
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down (eh, eh, eh, eh)
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping (eh, eh, eh, eh)
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down
(Eh, eh, eh, eh)
Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman (eh, eh, eh, eh)
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down (eh, eh, eh, eh)
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping (eh, eh, eh, eh)
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
