I tried to replace you, don't cha know?
She was a poet... she looked like you, she sounded like you, Her arms almost felt like you.. she even almost smelled like you.. But she wasn't you.. a kinder, paler version of you.. She had no belives She had no wild dreams She didn't have a drop of your passion.. So, I walked away and didn't look back.. I hurt that gentle soul Because she wasn't you.. I tried to be you, don't cha know.. I found someone who wanted hard hands and teeth at her neck.. who wanted someone to keep her safe... to tell her right from wrong... But I wasn't you... I didn't have your control, I didn't have your strenght I didn't have your convictions... So, I told her no more.. and I left her shut down and closed off.. Just like me.. I'm done trying to replace you, because it can't be done I'm done trying to be you.. because that's not who I am.. I'm done crying because I lost you... Because it does no good.. Instead I will simply smile and remember and know you own my heart.. Until you don't...
