I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really dont mind what happens now and then
As long as youll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well,
Will you be there holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite
Yeah!!
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite

Summary quotation from Wikipedia:
Kryptonite is a song by the American rock band 3 Doors Down. It was originally released as a demo for local play by 97.9 WCPR-FM in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Composition and Inspiration
The song was written by drummer/vocalist Brad Arnold in a mathematics class when he was fifteen, and was one of the first songs he ever wrote.
In terms of the songs meaning Arnold has saidThat song seems like its really just kind of like asking a question. Its question is kind of a strange one. Its not just asking, If I fall down, will you be there for me? Because its easy to be there for someone when theyre down. But its not always easy to be there for somebody when theyre doing good. And thats the question its asking. Its like, If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman? Its asking, If Im down, will you still be there for me? But at the same time, If Im alive and well, will you be there holding my hand? Thats kind of asking, If Im doing good, will you be there for me? Will you not be jealous of me? Thats the basic question that songs asking, and maybe throughout the years of singing that song, I might have come up with more meanings for it than it actually might have originally had.Release and reception
After the songs release, it began to garner significant radio play. This allowed it to reach its high position in the charts and give 3 Doors Down their breakthrough hit. As a result of the popularity of the single, along with the fame of the other less known singles, The Better Life went on to sell over six million copies. The song still remains 3 Doors Downs best known song to this day, and many fans consider it to be their signature song. The song plays during the freestyle of Superman monster truck at Monster Jam events.
In September 2009, Kryptonite was included on the setlist for the music video game Guitar Hero 5. Users on the Guitar Hero website have voted the song as the most popular from the games main setlist. It was also released as downloadable content for Rock Band.
Music video
Directed by Dean Karr, the music video presents an old man who was a big time action hero on TV. The scene cuts between the band hanging around on the roof of the apartments where the old man lives, spying on a man harassing a woman. When the man drags her away, the old man dons his trusty suit and follows. In between shots of the old hero chasing the bad guy and failing to protect himself against a group of goths, the band is shown playing in a club with several other elderly people dressed as caricatures of comic villains. The video comes to a close when the old man dives through the skylight and catches the bad guy off guard, possibly knocking him out by falling on top of him. The video ends with the old man smiling, giving a thumbs up to the camera.
