Placeholder
Abby Carroll
You made me understand the meaning of resentment
The feeling of resentment when I wouldn't give you up
Lately I've been feeling like I'm just another moment
A hand that you've been holding till you get to where you're going to
I know that I should quit it, but I keep on sticking with it
Hoping you'll want something, oh just hoping you'll need anything from me
I'll be a placeholder in your book
Till you find someone new to turn the page
Put me back when you get bored
I'll fill up some empty space
Rewrite another page and I'll let you take the pen
Finish up the story, and I'll come right back to read you again
I know that I should quit it, but I keep on sticking with it
Hoping you'll need anything from me
I'll be a placeholder in your book
Till you find someone new to turn the page
Put me back when you get bored
I'll fill up some empty space
I spent my life trying to fill all the cracks
I'd be there by your side if you ever asked
If I stand a bit taller and act a bit stronger
You'll keep me around for a little while longer
I'm just a girl, oh just somebody's daughter
That's down on her knees praying that you still want her
It sounds so pathetic, I think it's poetic
I'm too scared to lose what has already left me
I'll be a placeholder in your book
Till you find someone new to turn the page
Put me back when you get bored
I'll fill up some empty space
I'll fill up some empty space
