Pedestal - Jackie Evancho

Pretty doll

Pretty face

Held up in this state of grace

Bittersweet

Thanks and please

Welcome to my make believe

Welcome to my make believe

Tie me up

Hold me high

All I can do is wonder why

You forced me to be

But here’s the surprise

Kill that part of me

It’s a suicide

Shattering

Split in two

I am me but you are you

Save me from my pedestal pedestal

Free me from my pedestal pedestal

Save me from my pedestal pedestal

Sound the alarm

I’m breaking out

Hold your ears

It’s gonna get loud

Crack the glass

Falling fast

You should have known it wouldn’t last

You should have known it wouldn’t last

Tie me up

Hold me high

All I can do is wonder why

You forced me to be

But here’s the surprise

Kill that part of me

It’s a suicide

Shattering

Split in two

I am me but you are you

Save me from my pedestal pedestal

Free me from my pedestal pedestal

Save me from my pedestal pedestal

Picture me smiling sweet

Through the fire that I weep

'Cause up here it’s hard to breathe

So I fall down

It all falls down

It all falls down

Falling down

We all fall down

Tie me up

Hold me high

All I can do is wonder why

You forced me to be

But here’s the surprise

Kill that part of me

It’s a suicide

Shattering

Split in two

I am me but you are you

Save me from my pedestal pedestal

Free me from my pedestal pedestal

Save me from my pedestal pedestal

Free me from my pedestal pedestal
