lyrics

She's drinking from my yellow mug
She's laughing at your oldest jokes
You gave my pillow one small shrug
And folded me with last year's clothes

I said I'm fine, I wished you well
I locked it in, I'd never tell
But there's a sound under my skin
Like something breaking deep within

Was I so easy to replace?
Easy to replace, easy to replace
You just put her in my place
Did you even miss my face?
Easy to replace, easy to replace
Was I so easy to replace?

It took you fourteen little days
To hang her coat up on my hook
You wiped me off like yesterday's
Cold coffee rings, one dirty look

I said I'm fine, I wished you well
I locked it in, I'd never tell
But there's a sound under my skin
Like something breaking deep within

Was I so easy to replace?
Easy to replace, easy to replace
You just put her in my place
Did you even miss my face?
Easy to replace, easy to replace
Was I so easy to replace?

I hope she finds my letters
I hope she reads my name
I hope you call her me one night
I hope it burns the same

Easy to replace
I guess I was, I guess I was
