who you are without me

Kate Voegele

Put me up on a pedestal
IÂ?ve got nowhere to go but down
you expect the impossible
and itÂ?s too much to carry around

well you tell me iÂ?m beautiful
it feels empty and I donÂ?t know why
but it seems that youÂ?re searching me
for something youÂ?re not gonna find

IÂ?m not your anchor
so donÂ?t hold on
iÂ?m not the answer
youÂ?ve got me wrong
iÂ?m not your savior
save your energy
to fi nd out who you are
who you are without me

Wide awake lying next to you
being careful to get the words right
see it hurts me to tell you this
but it kills me to keep it inside

and IÂ?m in love with the present tense
making plans is overrated to me
and I donÂ?t speak in guarantees
or at least not the kind that you need

Chorus

Well I still believe in
happy endings
but this just isnÂ?t
where I wanna spend mine
IÂ?ll be leaving
now IÂ?ve said it

Chorus

IÂ?m not a mirror
look inside yourself
iÂ?m not a hero
you know to well
iÂ?m not your savior
save your energy
to fi nd out who you are
who you are without me
