[Verse] There for a short time just a fleeting face Filling a gap like a bandage in place Built your confidence held your fall Secured your life but I lost it all [Prechorus] Easily replaced like a coat in the rain We never talked again left me in the strain [Chorus] I’ve felt this pain before it’s just the same A cycle of heartache with no one to blame Temporary anchor pulled me through the storm But left me adrift when the waters turned warm [Verse 2] A shadow on your road a stop on your way I gave you my night but you chased the day Your words were a net but they held no thread A silent goodbye is all I ever read [Bridge] I’m a placeholder in your carousel Riding the circle that never ends well But maybe one day you’ll stop and see That the gap I filled was the best of me [Chorus] I’ve felt this pain before it’s just the same A cycle of heartache with no one to blame Temporary anchor pulled me through the storm But left me adrift when the waters turned warm
