Replaced

Don't waste your time waiting,

Don't stay up all night,

Go to sleep instead of crying,

Darling, you can't put up a fight.

You left; they're gone,

And I promise you did nothing wrong.

No calls; they're gone,

But darling, they don't know what they're missing.

Don't waste your time,

Don't hold your breath,

They said they'd be there until your death.

But people lie, and people cheat;

They either surrender or you conceit.

You had to leave; forced to go.

A burden I'm sure no one knows.

So, Don't waste your time,

Don't hold your breath.

You've been replaced.

They were fine with simple lives;

You left simply for more in life.

You chose to leave; You wanted to go.

No one can care, if no one knows.

You left; they're gone,

And I promise you did nothing wrong.

No calls; they're gone,

But darling, they didn't notice you're gone.

Don't waste your time,

Don't hold your breath,

They said they'd be there until your death.

But people lie, and people cheat;

They either surrender or you conceit.

You had to leave; forced to go.

A burden I'm sure no one knows.

So, Don't waste your time,

Don't hold your breath.

You're replaced.

By someone,

You don't know.

They laugh at their jokes,

That hit too close to home.

But while they stay afraid

Of their same old mind games,

You broke free; Not easily.

They can't break free.

So to survive,

They've replaced a home.

Just to thrive,

They live alone.

So darling,

Don't waste your time,

Don't hold your breath,

You know they'll just suffer to death.

And people lie, and people cheat;

They will surrender and admit conceit.

You had to leave; forced to go.

They have a burden you'll never know.

So, Don't waste your time,

Don't hold your breath.

'Cause you can't be replaced.
