In Place of You

"It's you that I feel sorry for"

"You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were

Useless and disappointing"

"Okay, I know that you think that I'm just some-"

"Coward? Phony?"

"Okay, just listen"

"No, you listen"

In place of you

I got a river flowing through

It runs faster than your love

Faster than the things you tryna do

Faster, then you start seeing somebody new

On top of all the things you was going through

The whole time you started seeing somebody new

Why did you tell me you'd wait forever the whole time

In place of you

I got a river running through me

I got a river running through me

I got a river running through me

In place of you

There's nothing to hide, or cover up, or undo

Took my heart and let it try to pursue

I don't wanna try nothing else

Some random guy I can't trust too

And I swear I won't hide it from you

Think I could fall for you the way I want

To fall is no good thing, but I am different

Who's the girl on your mind?

Twisting me up, I'm so sick

I am different

Whole time

Though I got a river running through me flowing (Whole time)

And your love is so deep but it keeps me going

Whole time, yeah, you cut so deep, don't get me going, oh

Cast a spell on me, but you just don't know it
