Replace You - Silverstein

I’m the setting sun behind the trees, the saddest one you’ve seen

I’ve been burning holes and breaking dreams, and I regret it

I’m fixing things I’ve broken, it’s not as easy as it used to be

I’m throwing temper tantrums.

I used to settle, but now I make a scene

You can’t believe…

I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay

I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face

I can’t replace, I can’t replace you

You’re the swirling wind above the sea, the maddest storm they’ve seen

Now you’re breaking waves and smashing dreams, and you can’t help it

You’re drowning streets and stranding a million people, you’re starting out

with me

You’re crashing down from anger, your stuff is settled and now you’re sound

asleep

And so serene…

I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay

I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face

I can’t replace, I can’t replace you

And when the sun is down and when the skies are calm you’ll see, calm will be

We’ll wait for the cycle, we’ll repeat our same mistakes.

The same mistakes

we’ve always made

I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay

I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face

I can’t replace, I can’t replace you

I said I’d never walk away…
