I’m not even a replacement
‘Cause there’s nothing to replace
I was just a mere distraction
Till you found a better place

In your soul that’s full of bridges
In your heart not built for me
I was hanging from the scaffolds
Ignoring treachery

I was just perspective
And I was just a fling
I was just the pillow where you once
Asked me to sing

A song that reminded you of him
A song that reminded you of him

At first I was exciting
At first I felt brand new
A breath of air so fresh and clean
You didn’t know what to do

But inside you were hurting
Inside you were confused
You want to love another
To show another what they’d lose

I was just transition
An edit if you will
Until the man you left before me
Gets your love once more to steal

‘Cause in the end he’ll chase you
So terrified you left
And then you’ll take him back
With his tail between your legs

I was just perspective
And I was just a fling
I was just the pillow where you once
Asked me to sing

A song that reminded you of him
A song that reminded you of him

Just let him go
To let me in
For I can never replace him, no, no, no
Just let him go
To let me in
For I can never replace him

I was just perspective
Yeah, I was just a fling
I was just the pillow where you once
Asked me to sing

A song that reminded you of him
A song that reminded you of him
A song that reminded you of him
A song that reminded you of him
