Pedestal

Beth Orton

3

Been sitting so high on this pedestal

No need to tell me how I might feel if I fall

And you don't know how hard it is to cry

Ever since you have said good bye

You can't feel this sad and not a little strong

You can't feel this bad but not a little wrong

How you gonna know all the answers

When you don't know how to question it

And you don't know all the questions yet

And there's a look in your eyes

Of which we never speak

Will it make you too strong

Am I gonna feel so weak

Well, I'm not the same as you

And I don't want the things you do

And all that preaching never let anyone know

You cannot reap what you cannot sow

You cannot reap what you cannot sow

And they never had the patience to let it be

Sometimes I've waited years for what I cannot see

It must be them, not the whole world that lies

To neither do I wanna have to say goodbye
