The Replacement

Walking down the avenue
I see you across the street
You are holding someone's hand
Someone completely brand new
He is taller than I am
He is wearing fancy clothes
A sharp needle in my chest
Takes away my steady breath

I am frozen on the spot
You are laughing very loud
I am just a ghost to you
You forgot about my name

The replacement hurts so much
I am broken in the street
You moved on so easily
Like I never mattered once
I am drowning in the pain
While you smile into his eyes

I hide behind a parked car
Hoping you don't look my way
My whole body starts to shake
All our history is dead
You look happy in the sun
I am standing in the shade
I gave you my everything
Now another gets the prize

I am frozen on the spot
You are laughing very loud
I am just a ghost to you
You forgot about my name

The replacement hurts so much
I am broken in the street
You moved on so easily
Like I never mattered once
I am drowning in the pain
While you smile into his eyes

I turn back and walk away
Try to hold my tears inside
Every step is very heavy
I feel utterly erased
You deleted all my love
You replaced me with a snap
I am nothing but a blank
In the story of your life

I am frozen on the spot
You are laughing very loud
I am just a ghost to you
You forgot about my name

The replacement hurts so much
I am broken in the street
You moved on so easily
Like I never mattered once
I am drowning in the pain
While you smile into his eyes

I thought I was special then
I thought we were meant to be
Now I see the bitter truth
I was just a passing phase
The reality is cruel
It is tearing me apart
I will have to live with this
Heavy hole inside my heart

The replacement hurts so much
I am broken in the street
You moved on so easily
Like I never mattered once
I am drowning in the pain
While you smile into his eyes

The replacement hurts so much
I am broken in the street
You moved on so easily
Like I never mattered once
I am drowning in the pain
While you smile into his eyes
