Falling off the Pedestal

Falling Off The Pedestal You placed me on a pedestal Conquered the world just for me You said I was your life And it was plain to see I was the perfect person The only one for you In your eyes I could do no wrong You felt my love was true For years we lived in happiness Our lives full of content Together forever in our hearts But that’s not all it meant You kept me on that pedestal That lofty place above I could do no wrong Because I had your love You trusted me with all your heart But I betrayed that trust Not intentionally, of course It all became unjust I didn’t mean to hurt you That’s the last thing I’d want to do For I know that you loved me And your love was always true I loved you as you loved me But I made mistakes that hurt you And I fell off that pedestal As humans sometimes do I should have reached out to you As you offered me your hand And asked you for forgiveness But instead I took a stand I could have climbed back on that pedestal Once again the perfect wife I know you would have let me We’d have gone on with our life But things would never be the same I thought, you’d wonder after all When next I might betray you And once more make the fall So now we’re far apart and sad Our love and trust is broken We should have tried once more But the devil must have spoken Now after all is said and done And we stand against the wall I wonder which of us was wrong When I fell off the pedestal Dee Garner August 23, 2000 Written October 28th, 2001 © on Oct 28 2001 01:32 PM PST, Dee Garner   0 • 18 • 10
