placeholder

[Verse 1]

Last time that I saw you

Both hands in the dirt

Asking for a photograph

A picture you did not deserve

[Chorus]

Oh, but I was just a placeholder

A lesson to be learned

Oh, I was just a placeholder

A place you will return

[Verse 2]

Last time that I heard your voice

Words I couldn't comprehend

As a thousand years of feedback

Screaming in my head

[Chorus]

Oh, but I was just a placeholder

Exchange for what you had

Oh, I was just a placeholder

A tension you retract

[Verse 3]

Curious, I came to you

You wordlessly ignored

As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford

[Chorus]

Oh, but I was just a placeholder

A place and nothing more

Oh, I was just a placeholder

With nothing to stand for

[Bridge]

And this is where I doubted you

And endless compromise

To say that you told me the truth is to tell each other lies

[Chorus]

Oh, but now you are a placeholder

Blinded by desire

Oh, now you're just a placeholder

For someone wasting time
