[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
You were always somewhere else
I never know how to help
Thought I was closing the gap
But then you took a step back
I'm not a healer at all
I knew it's never long haul
I know you think about them
I know it's still about them
[Chorus]
Hi, I know you've been a victim of
The pain you put me through (The pain you put me through)
So, why do I let it get this far?
I always knew (I always knew)
Placeholder, I fill the seat
Won't be long before you misplace me
Buy my time, then sell me cheap
I see clearly that it won't be me
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
[Verse 2]
Saw you were struggling to breathe
And then you found a quick relief
But I can tell it's wearing off
And that I'm just an afterthought
I'll be a face that you forget
I'll carry you onto the rest
'Cause everybody's taking turns
Making each other hurt
[Chorus]
Hi, I know you've been a victim of
The pain you put me through (The pain you put me through)
So, why do I let it get this far?
I always knew (I always knew)
Placeholder, I fill the seat
Won't be long before you misplace me
Buy my time, then sell me cheap
I see clearly that it won't be me
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
[Outro]
Placeholder, I fill the seat
Won't be long before you misplace me
Buy my time (Buy my time), then sell me cheap (Sell me cheap)
I see clearly that it won't be me

I think this song sounds so pretty, it has all my favourite production elements of the album in it. Jay’s acoustic finger picking and the glitchy heavy autotuned vocals go so good together. Its a really gorgeous blend of natural and unnatural sounds. Maybe the most heartbreaking, sad girl lyric on t...
