In My Place

I see her sitting where I used to sit

Hearing the words that only I should get

You laugh the same laugh, the same familiar sound

But now it’s for her, and I’m nowhere around

You hold her hand just like you held mine

Walking the same path, same familiar line

The space I filled is now occupied

And everything we built is slowly passing by

Does she know the stories that we used to share?

Does she get the version of you that I cared for?

You act like nothing ever came before

Like I was just a chapter you don’t read no more

She’s standing in my place

Taking every moment that was ours to face

Wearing the love that used to be mine

Living in the space where I used to shine

How did she fit so easily

Into the life that you once gave to me?

Right here… in my place

She knows your favorite song, just like I did

She knows how you smile when you try to hide it

You tell her secrets, same as you told me

Like I never mattered, like I was just a memory

The table’s set, but for two different hearts

The same old routine, but it feels so far apart

I watch from the outside, with nothing left to say

Watching my whole world just fade away

Does she know the stories that we used to share?

Does she get the version of you that I cared for?

You act like nothing ever came before

Like I was just a chapter you don’t read no more

She’s standing in my place

Taking every moment that was ours to face

Wearing the love that used to be mine

Living in the space where I used to shine

How did she fit so easily

Into the life that you once gave to me?

Right here… in my place

It’s not the house, it’s not the street

It’s not the places where we used to meet

It’s the way you look, the way you speak

Giving to her what only I should keep

I’m still here, but I’m invisible

While she lives the life that was original

My spot is gone, my time is through

And she’s got everything I had with you

She’s standing in my place

Taking every moment that was ours to face

Wearing the love that used to be mine

Living in the space where I used to shine

How did she fit so easily

Into the life that you once gave to me?

Right here… in my place

Yeah…

In my place…

Everything I gave away

Is now hers today…

In my place…
