Last time that I saw you
 Both hands in the dirt
 Asking for a photograph
 A picture you did not deserve
 Oh, but I was just a placeholder
 A lesson to be learned
 Oh, I was just a placeholder
 A place you will return
 Last time that I heard your voice
 Words I couldn't comprehend
 As a thousand years of feedback
 Screaming in my head
 Oh, but I was just a placeholder
 Exchange for what you had
 Oh, I was just a placeholder
 A tension you retract
 ♪
 Curious, I came to you
 You wordlessly ignored
 As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford
 Oh, but I was just a placeholder
 A place and nothing more
 Oh, I was just a placeholder
 With nothing to stand for
 And this is where I doubted you
 And endless compromise
 To say that you told me to the truth is to tell each other lies
 Oh, but now you are a placeholder
 Blinded by desire
 Oh, now you're just a placeholder
 For someone wasting time
