Replacement

Have you talked to Roxanne at all?
We hung out a week ago
She says she's sad but doesn't understand
Why you had to let her go

Yeah, she looked so surprised
I'm not trying to take sides
Because you know that you're dear old friends of mine
But you really fucked up
It's just basic stuff that you'll learn in time

But how's she gonna take it
When she learns about her replacement
In the blink of an eye, you've erased it from your mind

I'm never seen you so happy before
And I think that it's for real
You said you've fallen in love, and it's cute
I just wonder how it feels

'Cause you got a head start
Went straight for the heart
You're telling me she is perfect, kind and smart
Well I'm sure that she is
But does she know what you did?
And were you really ever planning to tell her?

'Cause how's she gonna take it
When she learns that she's the replacement
Of a love that couldn't make it
Or maybe she's the one you've waited for

I told Roxanne she's better off
As the impartial party does
Hell, I told you the same because
We both know it's true enough

But did you see a shift?
Were there any hints?
Or was there somebody else, she questioned
Well I couldn't say yes
And I couldn't say no
So I'll just play the idiot

But how's she gonna take it
When she learns about her replacement
But life's too short to fake it
Who knows, this time you might just make it work
