Replace Me

(album: All Those Pretty Lights - 2008)

I'm fighting sleep right now don't matter why or how
I walked, through the thickness of your heart
Straight through the middle of your deepest darkest dream
I wrote the melody that brought you back to life, love
Come hear it for yourself
Oh, my love,
Come hear it for yourself
Oh, my love

Who says we're wrong for
Opening the wrong doors
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me
Cause we've all fallen for
Someone we're wrong for
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me

I kept it safe and still
You changed your shape until
Your weakling anti-bodies
Could stand up for themselves
Outside your window sill
I fell like jack for jill
And you came tumbling after
So stand up for yourself
Oh my love
Stand up for myself
Oh, my love, lest you forget
I'll write this down

Who says we're wrong for
Opening the wrong doors
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me
Cause we've all fallen for
Someone we're wrong for
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me

You're blaming all this on yourself
But the photograph that's on your shelf
Is of a younger, dumber, version of myself
But anyway

Who says we're wrong for
Opening the wrong doors
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me
Cause we've all fallen for
Someone we're wrong for
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me
You'll never replace me
You'll never replace me

'Cause, back then, I told you
If you fall I'll fall too
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me
