[Lyric] Take His Place - Original Version Re-Recording (Xander Corbett)

Hotel rooms and new tattoos
But I would rather be next to you
I wish you’d come back and give me a chance
I’m sorry if i was too much for you
You don’t understand the head-rush I’d get
When i’d get another taste of you
I still want you to tell me the truth
Did you really want me, too?

We could be like stars in the night
And light up the sky
But you just came to realize
That i’m just a waste
Of your time and your space
And I’m sorry i couldn’t take his place

I’m in Seattle and you’re in New York
The distance, it sure does hurt
I’ve tried so fucking hard to make this shit work
But I guess i’m not worth any of your effort
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be your sunlight
But how could you leave me so confused?
I promise i’m getting better, but how is the weather?
I just wanna know how you’re doing
We could’ve been like stars in the night
And light up the sky
But you just came to realize
That i’m just a waste
Of your time and your space
And i’m sorry i couldn’t take his place
Could we just pretend
We relate or comprehend
Or at least leave out all the white lies
I’m going insane, but I’ll tell you i’m okay
Just to keep a smile on your face
But i’m sorry i couldn’t take his place

And I close my eyes
And to no surprise
The memory of your smile haunts my mind
Every second that’s passed
Feels like one of my last
Just like every other heartbreak i’ve had
I’m just a shell of a man
Hollowed out in the sand

Your eyes remind me of the water in the sea
Your smile makes me weak at the knees
I wish you could see what you’re doing to me
You’re beyond everything i need
At night, I can’t sleep, I just stare at the ceiling
Thinking about what we could never be
Your voice reminds me of rain on the streets
But now I can’t get you to speak
We could’ve been like stars in the night
And light up the sky
But you just came to realize
That i’m just a waste
Of your time and your space
And i’m sorry i couldn’t take his place
We could’ve been like stars in the night
And light up the sky
But you just came to realize
That i’m just a waste
Of your time and your space
And i’m sorry i couldn’t take his place
Could we just pretend
We relate or comprehend
Or at least leave out all the white lies
I’m going insane, but I’ll tell you i’m okay
Just to keep a smile on your face
But i’m sorry i couldn’t take his place

I used to be so insecure
But you’d always reassure me
But one day, that reassurance was gone
I stay up late at night
Wishing I could hold you tight
But you’re quickly moving on
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
But why’d I let you treat me like shit?
You made me feel so low when I loved you the most
And every word you said seems to stick
We could’ve been like stars in the night
We burned up, no surprise
When I opened my eyes and realized
That you’re the one who’s a waste
Just a test of my patience
Andy i’m sorry for the day that I can say
Somebody else has taken your place
