In Place Of You

In place of a brick wall you made a window

In place of a dark hall you painted a mural

Where there was only weeds you raised a garden

And if I've failed to notice I'm sorry darling

If you were gone what would I do?

Cause no one could ever take the place of you

If you should go where would I be?

In place of you, an empty space for me

In place of wandering blind you put direction

In place of squandering my love and affection

You built a place for me, where I could store it

And I'm eternally grateful for it

If you were gone what would I do?

Cause no one could ever take the place of you

If you should go where would I be?

In place of you, an empty space for me

There is so much from what I've gathered

To put in place of these things you think you need

In place of emptiness you put fulfilment

In place of bitterness you put endearment

Where there was only weeds you raised a garden

And if I've failed to notice I'm sorry darling

If you were gone what would I do?

Cause no one could ever take the place of you

If you should go where would I be?

In place of you, an empty space for me
