Replace Me

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 played 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

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

cause back then i told you
if you fall i'll fall too
lock up swallow the key
you'll never replace me
