Below, you will find the lyrics for How it Feels to be Replaced by Alec Benjamin.
Verse 1
It's been eighteen weeks since i've seen my friend
And it's hard for me to comprehend how this happened
Perhaps it's just a phase
When we turned thirteen, yeah we made a pact
That we'd always have each other's backs
And it's tragic, but i think i've been replaced
Chorus 1
Seems to me those days i don't know time for fun
No more time for friendship
Just last week i called him up to make some plans, i said
'i've got tickets to the ballgame if you want to go with me
I haven't seen you in a minute, i know it's your favorite team
I think they're gonna win 'cause they've been on a winning streak
And maybe when we're finished we could kick it by the beach'
You said 'hey man,' and 'listen, i would love to, but you see
I've got plans with the missus for our anniversary'
I said 'alright, i miss you, could you call me when you're free?'
And in my heart, i felt like something died inside of me
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
I've got tickets to the ballgame and no one to go with me
I never thought that this is how my life was gonna be
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
Verse 2
I'd hate for this to be the end
But i just can't see how we can mend this divide now
I don't think there's any way
I know friendships fade and plans can change
Was naive to think that we would stay close forever
Maybe that was my mistake
Chorus 2
Seems to me those days i don't know time for fun
No more time for friendship
Just last week i called him up to make some plans, i said
'i've got tickets to the ballgame if you want to go with me
I haven't seen you in a minute, i know it's your favorite team
I think they're gonna win 'cause they've been on a winning streak
And maybe when we're finished we could kick it by the beach'
You said 'hey man,' and 'listen, i would love to, but you see
I've got plans with the missus for our anniversary'
I said 'alright, i miss you, could you call me when you're free?'
And in my heart, i felt like something died inside of me
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
I've got tickets to the ballgame and no one to go with me
I never thought that this is how my life was gonna be
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
