I’ve told too many girls that I love them, I’ve told too many girls they’re the one.
So why am I sitting here all alone, how do you measure fun?
I’ve called lost property too many times and I can’t live properly, a piece of me died.
I wasn’t aware the Mona Lisa cried, maybe I remembered my decent side.
Wash the kisses off my neck and lock my past in the basement.
I need to find your perfect replacement.

Let’s start, you’ve torn him apart.
He had a lot of heart, for a heartless bastard. So sad, sad it ain’t lasted.
Scream like you mean if you wanna go faster. Cause he’ll never slow down.
Tears of a clown, like bits of motown.
Found what he needs and his heart still bleeds.
But he’ll never take a ride on your merry-go-round.

We’ll never know what we may find, find on the other side.
We’ll never know what we may find…

I’ve called lost property too many times and I can’t live properly, a piece of me died.

I’ve found your perfect replacement.

Hope you remember my love, remember my name.
Put a message in the post, hope you get it by May.
Lock my past in the basement, I’ve found your perfect replacement.

I’ve found something, never need your nothing again.
Who’s laughing now? I’ve found your perfect placement.
Lock my past in the basement, I’ve found your perfect replacement.

There must be something about February, that makes me find a song that scarily relates to my current situation. Thankfully, it’s working as a catharsis for me, rather than allowing me to wallow. Thank you very much, Example. At the minute, I feel very close to the parts in bold. But I hope in time, I can relate more to the parts in italics. I’m optimistic. And I’m also changing my ways. In future, I’m not going to mope around after men. They’re quite frankly not worth it. When I find one who is, he’ll be the one chasing me, not the other way round. For now I’m going to focus on my family. my friends, and most of all me. I’ve been neglecting all three with my selfish ways of the years. This must change.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over.
But had me believing that it was something that I’d done.
And I don’t want to live that way.
Reading into every word you say.
You said that you could let it go.
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know.

But you didn’t have to cut me off.
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.
And I don’t even need your love.
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough.
You didn’t have to stoop so low.
Have your friends collect your records, then change your number.
I guess I didn’t need that, though.
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.

Now and then, it takes me by surprise when I find a song that describes how I feel exactly, word by word.
Most people can probably guess who I am referring to in this case, but I often feel like there’s lots of people that I used to know.
