Substitute
Love's Substitute: A Tale of Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
Suzan told me to leave
Suzan instructed me to leave.
saying she's a woman who's cute
She described herself as an attractive woman.
All of a sudden she said she found a substitute
Suddenly, she declared that she found a replacement for me.
But I'm just letting you know that I'll be around
I want you to be aware that I will still be present.
I'll be your bridge over troubled waters
I will serve as a support or source of comfort during difficult times.
So you won't get drown
I'll prevent you from succumbing to difficulties or challenges.
Cause Your substitute's gonna put you down alright
However, the person replacing me will eventually let you down.
I heard you're smoking cigarettes by the pack
There are rumors that you've taken up heavy smoking.
Since you told me to leave and don't come back yeah
Since you asked me to leave, implying a permanent separation.
It wasn't my fault
I deny responsibility for the situation.
You were the one who said we're through
You initiated the breakup, stating that we were finished.
Now you're drinking liquor
Now you're resorting to drinking alcohol, a behavior you avoided before.
which you didn't do
A change in your habits is evident.
But I'll be around
Despite the circumstances, I will remain available.
so you wont get drown,
I'll be there to prevent you from facing overwhelming challenges.
Cause your substitute's gonna put you down
The substitute you've chosen will disappoint you eventually.
Whenever time you're in trouble alright
Whenever you're in trouble, don't hesitate to reach out.
Just call my name and I'll be on the double
I will promptly respond to your call for help.
so you wont get drowned,
I'll ensure you don't succumb to difficulties.
cause your substitute's gonna put you down
The substitute will let you down, but I'll be there for you.
But I'll be around,
Reiterating my commitment to being present and supportive.
yes I'll be around, etc, etc,
Expressing persistence and availability, and so on.
