You put me on a pedestal
Where everyone could see me.
You asked for a favour,
Then another and another.
"Don't let me down!"
You were joking,
But you're eyes adored me.
I couldn't fail,
I couldn't let you down,
I couldn't breathe.
I tried,
That's all I can say.

But you're eyes adored me.
I couldn't fail,
I couldn't let you down,
I couldn't breathe.
I tried,
That's all I can say.
