Lyrics
You put me on a pedestal and tell me I'm the best Raise me up into the sky until I'm short of breath (yeah) Fill me up with confidence, I say what's in my chest Spill my words and tear me down until there's nothing left Rearrange the pieces just to fit me with the rest, yeah But what if I, what if I trip? What if I, what if I fall? Then am I the monster? Just let me know And what if I, what if I sin? And what if I, what if I break? Yeah Then am I the monster? Yeah Just let me know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I was 15 when the world put me on a pedestal I had big dreams of doin' shows and making memories (yeah) Made some bad moves trying to act cool, upset by their jealousy (uh-uh) Lifting me up (lifting me up), lifting me up (yeah) And tearing me down (down), tearing me down (down, down), yeah I'll take responsibility (ooh) for everything I've done (yeah) Holding it against me (yeah) like you're the holy one, yeah I had a chip on my shoulder, had to let it go 'Cause unforgiveness keeps them in control I came in with good intentions then I let it go And now I really wanna know What if I, what if I trip? Oh (oh) What if I, what if I fall? (I fall) Then am I the monster? (Am I the monster?) Just let me know (let me know) And what if I, what if I sin? (Oh) And what if I, what if I break?
