Текст Vera Blue – Pedestal / Cover Me

Part I: Pedestal

I put myself up on your shelf
You gave it all and nothing else
But no one can live up to these high expectations in mind

I remember just how it felt
To be loved, to be held
But no one can live up to these high expectations in mind
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 I fall
If I fall on you
Would you fall
Would you fall on me

If I fall

No one can live up to these high expectations in mind
Now, I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

Part II: Cover Me

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
