can’t replace you 

i know they can’t compare  

can’t replace you  

i know it won’t be the same

like a fall from grace 

the nights come up empty 

regrets, they come many 

can’t replace you 

i know they can’t compare 

and i know that you don’t care 

hours slip by wasted 

piled high beside me 

a ghost, a passenger 

time is a poor healer

what should i miss 

that you never gave me 

how many nights 

i’ve sung my own 

indictment

i tried to replace you 

can’t fill the space you left

you’re racing past me

with some faceless number 

you know, dreams 

they stay long after they lose their meaning
