Lyrics Replace Me - Columbus

Replace Me

The trees remind me of the Armidale winter
Where we used to go for Christmas when mum and dad were still together
Is this just everything I’ve been?
On the side of a driveway, I don’t fit in
I can’t stop second guessing
If I don’t fit the puzzle, am I really family?
Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees
My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me
Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin
I know I don’t fit in and I am scared that you’ll replace me
It hurts to know I’m still a waste of space in someone’s head
I’ll laugh about it till it hurts
I’m choking on regret
It’s hard to be someone you’re not
I can’t be something I’m not
If I stay and be a part, will I be missed when I am not?
Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees
My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me
Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin
I know I don’t fit in and I am scared that you’ll replace me
But I don’t want to have to leave
'Cause I need some room to breathe
If you could tell me now that things would be okay
Then I’ll go straight back to sleep
One day you’ll cut all your dead flowers
I’ll wither now before I get older
I’ll wither now before I get older
I’ll wither now before I
Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees
My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me
Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin
I know I don’t fit in and I am scared that you’ll replace me
