Pedestal Lyrics by Hannah Byers

2022

[Verse One]
It's been three years and counting
And it kills me that I'll never understand
Why I put you above everyone else
You held so much power
And it kills me that you never had to try
My attention, my contentment, was wrapped around your finger tips
[Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to erase those years when I wished I would disappear
Now that I've left you I can see the corruption you forced onto me
[Chorus]
I put you so high on my pedestal
But you burned that shit down
With the matches you stole
I can't stand behind a person who makes me feel undeserving of love
You held me as I fell apart
But now you're the reason I am scarred
I never want to see you
I wish I never loved you
[Verse Two]
I think these past years have gotten to your head
When I'm around you now I would rather be dead
But at one point you were the reason I wanted to live
You wanted nothing to do with me
But I truly believed you'd make me happy
Oh, how you made me blind to reality
[Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to erase those years when I wished I would disappear
Now that I've left you I can see the corruption you forced onto me
[Chorus]
I put you so high on my pedestal
But you burned that shit down
With the matches you stole
I can't stand behind a person who makes me feel undeserving of love
You held me as I fell apart
But now you're the reason I am scarred
I never want to see you
I wish I never loved you
[Bridge]
You, you were my everything
The reason that I smiled
The reason that I lived
All of my friends knew your name
The amount of time I spoke of you I drove them all insane
Tell me
Was it all a lie?
When you held my head against your chest
And told me not to cry
Now, I am growing up
You are nothing but a conceded man that I used to love
[Chorus]
I put you so high on my pedestal
But you burned that shit down
With the matches you stole
I can't stand behind a person who makes me feel undeserving of love
You held me as I fell apart
But now you're the reason I am scarred
I never want to see you
I wish I never loved you
