Pedestal Songtext
von Counterparts

I′m looking back on those I once looked up to,
And I can't help but feel that I′m looking down.

Everyone I've ever admired has left me with nothing.
Not even a memory. I remember growing up,
And yearning to be just like you.
It pains me to admit that I held you in such a high regard,
As if my life would mean nothing without your approval.


But now I see the error of my ways.
All that time spent searching for myself in someone else.

I think it's safe to say that I′ve become everything I wanted to be.
And no one can take that from me.
All of my heroes have failed me,
But I won′t ever fail myself.

I can't believe how naive I used to be when I never really needed anyone.
All of my heroes have failed me,
But I won′t ever fail myself.
