about

I wrote this song when I was in a long distance relationship and I started to feel more and more disconnected from my partner. In my music so many things started to develop and I got to make so many new experiences while my partner was never part of that. I felt strange about how well I was doing without him and how the memories my time with him kept fading away. Breaking up didn't feel right, but things needed to change.

Irreplaceable captures the uncertainty of these conflicting feelings.
I hope you will enjoy this very personal piece!

lyrics

IRREPLACEABLE

V1
These days I’ve been thriving on my own
Should miss you but I am scared I don’t
And you keep on asking if there’s something wrong

And I don’t remember when things changed
We used to be like moths to a flame
With you I always felt so safe

Pre-Chorus
2 years into this, breaking promises
Lately I know that it’s not the same


Chorus
I thought you were irreplaceable,
That our love was unconditional
But we are fading, blame the distance
Wish I could say that it was different

I thought you were irreplaceable 


V2
Remember you said you’d come back soon
I didn’t think time would leave us bruised
It hurts to say I’m forgetting you


Pre-C2
2 years into this, breaking promises
Lately I know that it’s not the same
We’re riding off the cliff and I’m afraid
That it’s too late

It’s breaking me to say 

Chorus
I thought you were irreplaceable,
That our love was unconditional
But we are fading, blame the distance
Wish I could say that it was different

I thought you were irreplaceable 


Irreplaceable 
Irreplaceable

I thought you were irreplaceable
And that our love was unconditional
