In My Place

Wilting Rose

I see the sparkle in your eye

I see the way you stare in space

In your smile it's love that I spy

I wonder who could have taken my place



I know it's not me who did this

I know I didn't pay enough attention

I know I couldn't give you that bliss

I know I never showed my affection



But I used to make you smile

The way you're smiling now

I can't make you happy anymore

I wonder if I ever did know how



I'll pretend not to know

You got that smile upon your face

And I'll let you go...

To the person who's taken my place
