Who You Are Without Me Lyrics
Put me up on a pedestal
I've got nowhere to go but down
You expect the impossible
And it's too much to carry around
Well you tell me I'm beautiful
It feels empty and I don't know why
But it seems that you're certainly
Something I'm not gonna find
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
Wide awake, lying next to you
Being careful to get the words right
See it hurts me tell you this
But it kills me you keep it inside
And I'm at one with the present tense
Making plans is overrated to me
And I don't speak in guarantees
Or at least not the kind that you need
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
Well I still believe in happy endings
But this just isn't where I wanna spend mine
I'll be leaving now, I've said it
Oh
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
And find out who you are
I'm not a mirror, looks inside yourself
I'm not a hero, you know too well
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
Who you are without me yeah
Oh-oh-oh
I've got nowhere to go but down
You expect the impossible
And it's too much to carry around
It feels empty and I don't know why
But it seems that you're certainly
Something I'm not gonna find
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
Being careful to get the words right
See it hurts me tell you this
But it kills me you keep it inside
Making plans is overrated to me
And I don't speak in guarantees
Or at least not the kind that you need
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
But this just isn't where I wanna spend mine
I'll be leaving now, I've said it
Oh
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
And find out who you are
I'm not a hero, you know too well
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
Who you are without me yeah
Oh-oh-oh

I love when she says "I'm not your savior, save your energy" She's got an amazing voice...
Anyways, she realizes that the person she's singing to (probably a boyfriend) has come to rely on her too much. He has this vision that she's perfect, and she wants him to realize she's not. It's along the same lines as "Halo" by Bethany Joy Galeotti
It reminded me of Halo too when I first listened to it. "Why do you put me on a pedestal, I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below" is a lot like "Put me up on a pedestal, I've got nowhere to go but down" Haha. Mmm Bethany Joy Galeotti

Don't forget Kate's "Angel" being along the same vein :]

I think Kate's voice is beautiful and one of my favorite lyrics of all time (well, up to now...) is: "I'm not a mirror, look inside yourself." How awesome is that?!
