Artist: Hanna Pakarinen
Album: When I Become Me
Release Date: 2004

I miss the girl I used to be
So full of life and so carefree
Untouchable, complete control
She had it all
She wrapped her heart in armor
No one could touch or harm her
She liked that feeling without that fear of getting hurt
No, it’s just no fun
No, it’s just no fun 

I used to be a superhero
Now look at me
A shadow of myself
I used to be a Wonder Woman
Now look at me
I’m like everybody else
I’m losing it all when you’re in sight
I can’t hold back
I cannot fight
It’s some kind of kryptonite

She used to be the tough kind
No one could mess with her mind
They tried to pierce her armored chest
She ate their kind for breakfast
Now she’s gone
What have you done?

I used to be a superhero
Now look at me
A shadow of myself
I used to be a Wonder Woman
Now look at me
I’m like everybody else
I’m losing it all when you’re in sight
I can’t hold back
I cannot fight
It’s some kind of kryptonite 

Why can’t we all admit it?
I get weak when I’m alone with you
With both feet I’m in it
Living, loving every minute of it

I still miss the girl I used to be
Now she’s gone
What have you done? 

I used to be a superhero
Now look at me
A shadow of myself
I used to be a Wonder Woman
Now look at me
I’m like everybody else
I’m losing it all when you’re in sight
I can’t hold back
I cannot fight
It’s some kind of kryptonite

I’m losing it all when you’re in sight
I can’t hold back
I cannot fight
I’m losing it all when you’re in sight
I can’t hold back
I cannot fight
