Lyrics Replace You - Silverstein

Replace You

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…
