I have been replaced in your life

Why am I surprised

I'm the one who walked away

You're the one who cried

Now I hear that you've recovered

I should be relieved



Instead I hide under the covers at night

I dream in black and white

Second guess my every move

Try not to think of you, because



I have been replaced in your life

A blow to my pride

It's been just a couple of months

Since we were side by side

Now I see that you go strolling by

With someone else



While I continue on alone

Heading for parts unknown

Making solitary plans

Braving the storms the best I can



If it's true that women mourn

While men replace

Who's the stronger

Who's the weaker

Why should it matter in any case



I have been replaced in your life

The turning of the tides

Has washed away your heartache

Opened mine up wide

Now I feel an old familiar hurt

From years ago



And I know I've gone through this before

A different battle, a distant war

When the odd man out evens the score

It leaves you craving just a little bit more



I have been replaced

I have been replaced

I have been replaced

In your life



I have been replaced in your life
