Irreplaceable - Sparks

Irreplaceable

As you search secondhand

To replace what you lost

He’s a nervous old man

And you ask «what's this cost»

Somehow it crashed to the floor

Where’s the concern, he knows there’s more

Somehow a note’s on your door

You have been burned, there are no more

Irreplaceable, it’s irreplaceable

As you search the cafes

To replace what is lost

All their eyes start to glaze

When you drone on your loss

Somehow you stumble and fall

Glass everywhere, everyone roars

Somehow a telephone call

You were a pair, not any more

Irreplaceable, it’s irreplaceable, not interchangeable

They’re designed to break, they’re designed to break

They’re designed to fail, they’re designed to fail

They’re designed to flake, they’re designed to flake

They’re designed to fail, they’re designed to fail

Irreplaceable, it’s irreplaceable

If you should stumble and fall

You may turn red, fire-engine red

One month from now you’ll forget falling at all

But who’s in your bed

Irreplaceable, it’s irreplaceable
