Counterparts - Pedestal lyrics

I’m looking back on those I once looked up to
And I can’t help but feel
That I’m looking down
Everyone I’ve ever admired has
Left me with nothing not even a memory

I remember growing up
And yearning to be just like you
It pains me to admit that I held
You in such a high regard
As if my life would mean
Nothing without your approval
But now I see the error of my ways
All that time spent searching for
Myself in someone else
I think it’s safe to say that I’ve
Become everything I wanted to be
And no one can take that from me
All of my heroes have failed me
But I won’t fail myself
I can’t believe how naive I used to
Be when I never really needed anyone
All my heroes have failed me
But I won’t ever fail myself
All my heroes have failed me
But I won’t ever fail myself

All my heroes have failed me
All my heroes have failed me
