Someone Took My Place With You
Flatt And Scruggs · Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs
Now you tell me we are through
Someone broke my heart in two
When they took my place with you
Now someone left me here to cry
And with each day that passes by
Now I'm found here alone and blue
'Cause someone took my place with you
In days to come I know you'll find
When you've left me here behind
Someday I'm sure that you will find
You wrecked your life as well as mine
When it's too late to make amends
I'm sure you'll pay the price and then
Now you'll be there alone and blue
'Cause someone took my place with you
