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
