All Fall Down


I watch you from my pedestal.
You built it way up high.
If I should ever tumble off
I'm sure that I would die.

It's nice to be a cherished wife
but lately I have found
that I'd prefer to spend my time
much closer to the ground.

It's so hard to be angelic!
A devil I would be
if only you would smash this plinth,
and free the real me.

I want to be like all the rest
and go from day to day
not caring for the small details;
just doing things my way.

I know I promised I would love
and hold you through the nights,
but get me down from this damned thing;
you know I don't like heights!
