let me in and the pedestal

let me in and the pedestal
Let me in
 
You said let me in.
I said I can’t.
The door is closed.
You kept knocking anyway.
 
Knocking till I let you in.
Why did you have to keep banging?
You chipped away at my defenses.
Until I let you into my soul.
 
You wanted in and got inside.
You brought me back to life.
Helped me feel again.
A light in my darkened soul.
 
You said let me in.
I said I can’t.
The door is closed.
You kept knocking anyway.
 
Parts of me I thought were dead, suddenly came alive.
Life was fun again.
I didn’t want to die.
Just wanted to live!!!
 
With you by my side who could bring me down?
Nobody could slow me down.
Nobody could turn me around.
Nobody could spin me out of control.
 
But you baby. You could.
And in time you did just that.
Spun me around.
Turned me inside out.
 
Blew out the light!!!
Left me in darkness.
Your Trojan horse.
Wrecked havoc in my soul.
 
Baby you brought me down.
So hard I fell for you.
Now I just fall.
Pulled the rug out from beneath me.
 
You said let me in.
I said I can’t.
The door is closed.
You kept knocking anyway.
 
Why did you have to knock?
Why do I have to pay the price?
Did you have fun?
Did you get your vice?
 
Torn apart…. Shattered.
Ripped apart. Tattered.
Aching soul.
Let the darkness in.
 
Why oh why did you have to knock?
And why did I let you in?

The pedestal

You put me on a pedestal long ago babe.
You put high up where only Gods belong.
You believed in me.

I stood tall on that high perch.
I stood proud.
My knees never buckled or quivered from the height.

I never looked down babe.
I knew right from wrong and always chose right.
Right by you I was, on my perch, on my pedestal.

I was destined to fall.
I aint perfect babe.
No I aint perfect at all.
Let me down before I fall.

I never wanted to let you down.
Never wanted to cross you.
Never wanted to shattered your image of me.
On top of that pedestal.

Babe, I did you wrong.
I crossed the line.
I cant be on that pedestal.
I am real and dont belong with the Gods.

You put me on a pedestal long ago babe.
You put high up where only Gods belong.
You believed in me.

I aint perfect babe.
God knows I aint.
I am just like you.
I make mistakes too.
Just like you.

Can you forgive me as I climb down?
Can you forgive me as I fall down?
Babe, I am coming down.
Down to the ground with you.

Im sorry I let you down.
I meant you no harm.
Now that I am down.
Can I make it up to you?

You put me on a pedestal long ago babe.
You put high up where only Gods belong.
You believed in me.

Can you still believe?
Can you still believe?
Come on babe, it is still me.
Just not up on that pedestal.

Grounded I am, perfect I aint.
Life is here on the ground babe.
Cant live it from the pedestal.
Forgive me but Im down.
