"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.
