Lyrics of Replaced

Christine lavin
"replaced"
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.
