Replace You Songtext
von Jay Bennett

They all said you could be had for a song
Even when I′m alone I'm still the one who doesn′t belong
Whenever we're together we just make each other feel more lonely
I followed you baby where'd you fall
That first step, that first night under your car
It′s been downhill since then though
We were never that high to begin with

I don′t know why I never replaced you
I promised myself I'd never follow through
So what′s a man with a woman with a mission to do?


I tolerated every little bit of your shit
And as hard as I tried I still stepped in it
And if this is success it sure don't smell like roses
So why am I holding on so tight?
It just goes to show that schoolin′ doesn't make you bright
It′s so dark in here I can hardly find my way to leave you

I don't know why I never replaced you
I made decisions but never followed through
So what's a man with a woman with a mission to do?

And I could never break your heart
But maybe half would be the start
Why is it that I can′t live without you?

Don′t know why I never replaced you
I promised myself that I would
So what's a man in my position do to quit you for good?
I don′t know why I never replaced you
I know what I had to do
So what's a man in my position do to see it through?
I don′t know how I could have replaced you
I've lived my life full of regret
But somehow I don′t think this is all we're left
