No Replacements

[ Waitin' On The World To Change - John Mayer ]

I once had a teddy bear....
I'd talk with it til dead....
You could say we were goin' steady...
For al that I care....

Well, there came a day when it tore...
And someone angry threw it far out the door....
I couldn't believe it's happenin'...
Thought 'twas a bad dream....

Once I snapped out of my dumb stance....
Went searchin' al around....
But my teddy was gone...
Maybe eaten by the bloodhound....

Things just seem so different....
Something's just have no replacements....
I still think about my love,
As I hit my stride on the messed up pavements....
*
The first day was terrible....
The days after were bad....
I learned to hold myself intact,
But couldn't stop bein' sad....

I reckon we had tea in the afternoons...
Teddy hated but had no choice....
Did whatever possible to please me....
Even helped me shut down al the noise....

And now things just seem so different....
Something's really have no replacements....
I still think about my love,
As I stride on the messed up pavements....
*
It was just a pleasant phase...
Callin' it that would be a disgrace....
I can still see teddy's face....
Oh, he would wanna see me in a happy craze.....

But things just seemed so different....
Something's just have no replacements....
And I still think about my love,
Hittin' my stride on the messed up pavements....
