Pedestal/Cover Me - Vera Blue

I put myself up on your shelf

You gave it all and nothing else

But no one can live up to these high expectations of mine

But that doesn’t mean that you resist the temptation to try

I remember just how it felt to be loved, to be held

No one can live up to these high expectations of mine

Now, I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

I’m up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down

So, let me down

Terrified, so I pretend there’s reasons for us to end

All over again

Don’t act surprised when we both know

It’s just the way, the way it goes

I never wanted to leave, but never needed to stay

The harder I tried to keep, the harder it was to change

I’m up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down

So, let me down

Terrified, so I pretend there’s reasons for us to end

All over again

If we fall

If we fall on you

Would you fall

Would you fall on me

If we fall

If we fall on you

Would you fall

Would you fall on me

No one can live up to these high expectations of mine

Now, I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

Cover me, every piece

When I can’t control myself

I wouldn’t be with anybody else

Cover me, never lead

I might be strong on my own

But you’re the better half that makes me whole

Cover me in your truth

Forget all the perfect words

It’s everyday that you show me proof

Forgive me, like you do

When I try, but I fail

When I’m none of these things to you
