"Simply replaced"

Verse 2
I called out to him,
not loudly,
not dramatically.
Just the way
you call someone
you trust.
But he was never there.
Never truly.
Always busy.
Always away.

And now
he’s suddenly available.

Chorus
You traded me in,
as if I were broken.
As if I had been too much,
too heavy,
too inconvenient.
You had no time for me.
No energy.
No patience.
But for her,
you’re always there.
And that tears me apart
more than anything else.

Verse 3
I was there
when you were weak.
When you doubted yourself.
When you had no one.
I held you,
carried you,
swallowed it all down.
And now I’m the one
who gets forgotten
because I felt too much.

Verse 4
You smile beside her
so easily.
As if I
never meant anything to you.
As if my tears
were just annoying pauses
in your life.
I wonder
if you ever saw
how much I needed you.

Or if you
simply didn't want to.

Chorus
You weren't there
when I needed you.
Not at night.
Not when it was all too much.
And now you give her
everything
I was missing.
Not because I didn't deserve it,
but because it’s easier
to start over
than to care for
something real.

Bridge
I don't love you anymore. That’s what I tell myself.
But it makes me sick
to see
that I was never the woman
you wanted to fight for.
Just the one
who endured it all.

Verse 5
I am angry.
Not loudly.
Not destructively.
That quiet anger
sitting in my gut,
weighing everything down.
Asking:
Why wasn't I enough
to make you stay?

Why was I just
the stopgap?

Chorus
You replaced me.
Not because I was wrong,
but because I was real.
And real things take work.
Patience.
Presence.
You chose the easier path.
And I am left behind
with all the pain
you never wanted to carry.

Outro
I sit here
and slowly learn
that your leaving
says more about you
than it does about me.
But today
it still hurts.
Hurts so much
that it silences
everything
inside me.

(It still hurts so much)
(Hurts so damn much, mhm)

Verse 1 I sit here with all those years weighing on my chest. Twelve months, a thousand days, and every "I’m tired" of mine was too much for him. I needed things quietly. I needed things gently. And yet, I was always alone. Verse 2 I called out to him, not loudly, not dramatically. Just the way you call someone you trust. But he was never there. Never truly. Always busy. Always away. And now he’s suddenly available. Chorus You traded me in, as if I were broken. As if I had been too much, too heavy, too inconvenient. You had no time for me. No energy. No patience.
