Pedestal Lyrics

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 fail myself
I can’t believe how naive I used to be when I never really needed anyone
All my heroes have failed me, but I won’t ever fail myself
All my heroes have failed me, but I won’t ever fail myself

All my heroes have failed me
All my heroes have failed me
