Replace Me - Columbus

The trees remind me of the Armidale winter

Where we used to go for Christmas when mum and dad were still together

Is this just everything I’ve been?

On the side of a driveway, I don’t fit in

I can’t stop second guessing

If I don’t fit the puzzle, am I really family?

Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees

My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me

Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin

I know I don’t fit in and I am scared that you’ll replace me

It hurts to know I’m still a waste of space in someone’s head

I’ll laugh about it till it hurts

I’m choking on regret

It’s hard to be someone you’re not

I can’t be something I’m not

If I stay and be a part, will I be missed when I am not?

Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees

My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me

Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin

I know I don’t fit in and I am scared that you’ll replace me

But I don’t want to have to leave

'Cause I need some room to breathe

If you could tell me now that things would be okay

Then I’ll go straight back to sleep

One day you’ll cut all your dead flowers

I’ll wither now before I get older

I’ll wither now before I get older

I’ll wither now before I

Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees

My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me

Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin

I know I don’t fit in and I am scared that you’ll replace me
