Subbing

if i had known that you were going to call her your world
would i have ever gotten attached?
if i had known she would be kissing you first
would i have ever let myself relax
because i told you i loved you, but how could we agree
that we'd only be friends, even though you loved me
yet you told me at night, that im worth more than any other girl
now i find your status, calling her that girl
that you wish you had never taken a single day apart
now im sitting here trying not to cry, with a broken heart
if i had known you would lie
would i have wasted my time
would i have talked to you all those long endless nights
as i cradeled that happiness inside
if i had known this wouldnt work
that you would be with some other girl
if i had known, would i have stopped myself
could i have stopped myself
from caring about you too much
from wanting to feel your touch across my skin
would you have told me if i had never found out
would you tell me what this was all about
or let me go on imagining that you were only mine
or is she just my replacement this time?
does she hold my space in your arms or is it me?
replacing, subbing, for this girl

Hi Rain, nice to hear from you as always. Reading this I couldn't help but chuckle at what I think is a Facebook reference. So many times I led myself to really bad conclusions based on what Facebook seems to tell me. In your case it seems legitimate that your beau seems to have abandoned you in favor of someone else. Sometimes the insensitive types will say something very deep and meaningful only because they expect it's what their belles want to hear. Then they suddenly change their minds...
