Pedestal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were just like a saint in my eyes
You showered me in gold
You had superman strength in my mind
And that’s the reason why
I’ve never felt so alone

[Pre-Chorus]
You slipped through my hands
Like holding quicksand
And I built a foundation on it
I guess perfect doesn’t really exist
I guess perfect doesn’t really exist
I hope and I prayed
Loved and I hated
And built a foundation it
I guess perfect doesn’t really exist
No, perfеct doesn’t really exist

[Chorus]
I put you up on a pеdestal
So high up and I watched you fall
Into a million pieces
I thought you were stronger
I thought you were stronger
[Verse 2]
Did you pull the wool over my eyes?
Did you think that I wouldn’t know?
Is there even a place in your heart
To notice that you’ve gone to far?
Now you can’t fix what you broke
You won’t

[Pre-Chorus]
You slipped through my hands
Like holding quicksand
And I built a foundation on it
I guess perfect doesn’t really exist
I guess perfect doesn’t really exist
I hope and I prayed
Loved and I hated
And built a foundation it
I guess perfect doesn’t really exist
No, perfect doesn’t really exist

[Chorus]
I put you up on a pedestal
So high up and I watched you fall
Into a million pieces
I thought you were stronger
I thought you were stronger
[Post-Chorus]
Into a million pieces
I thought you were stronger
I thought you were stronger

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
