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 

Summer night home alone 

air smelling dry as a bone

I bet you’re up late 

In clubs that don’t close, 

with girls with no name

finding yourself 

in her anonymity  

she’s just a body 

but it should’ve been me 

night’s majestic 

blood running thick

palm trees waving 

my night is tame, I’m wasting 

I bet you’re up late  

awake with no name

i don’t feel the same 

(it should’ve been me)

bad nights boring nights 

singing my own 

indictment 

should’ve been me

it’s gotta be me 

who makes you feel 

this way
