a replacement for permanent

they told me you weren't worth

three years of waiting

they told me it won't work

and i'd end up mourning

but i told them that i'd prove them wrong

they just have to wait and see

 

but no one told me

about the obstacles and challenges

i'd, we'd have to face

all the loneliness and emptiness

we'd have to endure

and the new people new changes

that'll affect us both

 

i wish they'd warned me

about the people constantly trying

to bring us down

the people blatantly desiring

to break us apart

and the people wishing and hoping

that they'll be next in line

 

no one had warned me

about the girl soon to fall crazily

head over heels for you

and mostly

no one had warned me

about the gorgeous boy helplessly

wanting to take your place

 

but they did

they'd warned me all they can

i just didn't listen

 

and if i did i would have known

the difference between you and him

and i wouldn't have kept looking

for a replacement

for someone permanent

 

only now you aren't anymore

 

so i'm sorry

and i miss you like crazy.
