ALANIS MORISSETTE
"Pedestal"

I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
I'm sure every perk has perch you up, how could it not?
And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?
Dropping my name, blew doors; open, now we're close before

[Chorus:]
And one day, you'll see that you've never really seen me
One day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you're craving now
As this pedestal crumbles still and crashes me to the ground

I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
I'm sure you enjoyed this game and the proxy pride that you landed
And everything by carrying you seem to build you up
And you grab my crown, and got everything you wanted

[Chorus:]
And one day, you'll see that you've never really loved me
One day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you're craving now
As this pedestal crumbles still and crashes me to the ground

[Bridge:]
You're left with a human being
You're left with a fallible soul
Oh, when the glitter falls
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
When the glare of the lights grow dim
And you're left with a delicate real
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here

[Chorus:]
One day, you'll see that you've never really seen me
And one day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you're craving now
As this pedestal crumbles still, as this crusty crash is done
Crashes me to the ground

[Outro:]
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
Who wouldn't?
