Pedestal Lyrics - Beth Orton

Been sitting so high on this pedestal 

No need to tell me if I might feel if I were to fall 

'Cos you don't know how hard it is to cry 

Ever since you have said goodbye 

You can't feel this sad and not a little strong 

You can't feel this bad and not a little wrong 

How you gonna know all the answers 

When you don't know how to question it? 

And you don't know all the questions yet 

And there's a look in your eye 

Of which we never speak 

Will it make you too strong? 

Am I gonna feel so weak? 

Well I'm not the same as you 

And I don't want the things you do 

And all that preaching never let anyone know 

You cannot reap what you cannot sow 

You cannot reap what you cannot sow 

And they never had the patience to let it be 

Sometimes I've waited years for what I cannot see 

It must be them not the whole world that lies 

To neither do I wanna have to say goodbye 

You can't feel this sad and not a little strong 

You can't feel that bad and not a little wrong 

How am I gonna know all the answers 

If I don't know how to question it? 

And I don't know all the questions yet 

And there's a look in your eye 

Of which we never speak 

Will it make me too strong? 

Are you gonna feel so weak? 

Well I'm not the same as you 

And I don't have the things you do 

And all this preaching never let anyone know 

You cannot reap what you cannot sow 

You cannot reap what you cannot sow 

You can't feel this sad and not a little strong 

Just a little strong 

Just a little strong 

Just a little strong
