Replace me

As you curl up in his arms,
and you close your eyes;
as you feel his lips bush your cheek,
I hope you think about all the times I cried.

As he makes you laugh,
and he sweeps you off your feet,
while your dancing with him,
I hope you know how often he let me fall with lies so bitter sweet.

As he kisses your lips,
and promises you will always be,
and when he tells you he loves you,
I hope you know he once promised those words to me.

I hope you know,
as you sleep beside him tonight,
it is just a matter of time,
before someone else catches his sight.

Because as I curled up in his arms,
and I closed my eyes;
as I felt his lips bush my cheek,
I thought of how you were the reason for all the times I cried.

And as he made me laugh,
and he sweeped me off my feet,
while I was dancing with him,
I thought of how you were the reason for the lies so bitter sweet.

And as he kissed my lips,
and promised we would always be,
and when he told me he loved me,
I thought of how thoses promises would soon break.

I hope you know,
as I slept beside him all those nights,
I tried to deny that it was just a matter of time,
before you took my place within his sights.
