In my place

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
