The Replacement

I gave you my umbrella when it started to rain

I gave you comfort when you began to pain

Look who is on my shoulder; oh look, it is you

I gave you my love; all you wanted me to

When night time came, and you got dark

When you needed a fire, I was your spark

You said you needed me, so I did run to you

I did everything that you wanted me to

I was the one always there when you called

I caught all of your tears as they did fall

You have replaced me with someone new

I hope that he cares for you like I used to

When he gets what he wants and then is leaves

When you start to cry, when you begin to grieve

Do not try to see me or call me on the phone

I will not answer; I will not be at home

I will be out with someone, someone like you

You have been replaced; I have someone new
