There are those that see Love as an escape
from the life they lead, from the life they hate
This fantasy - a fairytale
that as children we are read and fed.

So many people in love with love
an addiction our society is fond of
Betting their happiness on a daydream
Till it becomes something they need
This Pedestal Dream.

When Life just gets too heavy
and you know sometimes it does
there's a world you can escape to
this fantasy, oh like a drug.

Don't place me on your pedestal.
I am not the thing you've been searching for.
Search within and you'll find
the whole time - it's inside.

You don't even really know me
Yet you say that you're in love
I think that you're just lonely
and want something to fill you up.

This odd idea that without a romance
we are not complete as human beings!
It has poisoned our minds! Poisoned our lives!
'Cus this fantasy is not what it seems.

So many people in love with love
an addiction our society is fond of
Betting their happiness on a daydream
Till it becomes something they need
This Pedestal Dream.
This Pedestal Dream.
