pedestal

Lyrics

I’m the one who put you on that pedestal, remember?
I’m the one who called you "Beasty," stoked every single ember
I built the legend, I gave the "perfect" man his name
But now you’re using all that power just to play a game
You get a little frightened, so you choose to run and hide
Leaving me out in the cold while you’re safe and sound inside....
It’s not fair that you can hurt me just because I let you in
It’s not fair you throw away the "epic" where we could have been
You take me for granted, then you come back to my door
Playing with my mind until I can’t take anymore
You’re pushing me away because you’re scared of what we are
But you’re the only one who’s leaving all these jagged scars....
Make up your mind—are you a legend or a ghost?
'Cause I’m the one who needs you, and the one who suffers most
We’re supposed to be a team, something unmatched and supreme
But you’d rather crash the car than live the freaking dream
Stop running from the greatness that we built with our own hands
I’m done waiting for a man who never understands....
You’re almost too perfect, yeah, that’s what I used to say
But there’s nothing perfect ‘bout the way you walk away....
Don't come back just to play....
Make up your mind
make up your mind..
be the beast that I thought was mine...
why...
