Erased Lyrics
[Intro]
I made that up
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
[Verse 1: Andre Merritt]
You don't see me the same no more
It's hard to see the light with closing doors
Don't treat me like, like I'm invisible
Your tone with me, it's not the usual
We scream, we fight, sayin' things that we both regret
And that's not right, that you could just forget me like that
You never try, always takin' the easy route (Route)
Always takin' the easy route (Route)
Never wantin' to work it out
[Pre-Chorus: Andre Merritt]
You wanna be free (Ah, ah)
You wanna leave me (You wanna leave me)
I can't believe
'Cause without you, baby, I'm incomplete
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
Am I erased? (Erased)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced)
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Face)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
Yeah
I made that up
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
[Verse 1: Andre Merritt]
You don't see me the same no more
It's hard to see the light with closing doors
Don't treat me like, like I'm invisible
Your tone with me, it's not the usual
We scream, we fight, sayin' things that we both regret
And that's not right, that you could just forget me like that
You never try, always takin' the easy route (Route)
Always takin' the easy route (Route)
Never wantin' to work it out
[Pre-Chorus: Andre Merritt]
You wanna be free (Ah, ah)
You wanna leave me (You wanna leave me)
I can't believe
'Cause without you, baby, I'm incomplete
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
Am I erased? (Erased)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced)
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Face)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
Yeah
[Verse 2: Andre Merritt]
In memory of what we used to call love
I reminisce what used to be us
Remember when, when I was the most
Important to you, but now, I'm a ghost
The trust has died, there's no way we can bring it back
You live a lie, no holds barred and those strings attached
'Cause in your eyes, part of you just wants me back
All of me just wants you back, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Andre Merritt]
You wanna be free (You wanna be free)
You wanna leave me (You wanna leave me)
I can't believe (I can't believe)
Am I? Am I?
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
Am I erased? (Erased, am I erased?)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Oh-oh, oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced, feelin')
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Oh, am I?)
Am I erased? (Erased, am I?)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Ooh, oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced, I'm feelin' replaced)
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Oh-oh, oh-oh, face)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
(Scratched out, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
(Scratched out, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
Oh, oh, yeah
In memory of what we used to call love
I reminisce what used to be us
Remember when, when I was the most
Important to you, but now, I'm a ghost
The trust has died, there's no way we can bring it back
You live a lie, no holds barred and those strings attached
'Cause in your eyes, part of you just wants me back
All of me just wants you back, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Andre Merritt]
You wanna be free (You wanna be free)
You wanna leave me (You wanna leave me)
I can't believe (I can't believe)
Am I? Am I?
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
Am I erased? (Erased, am I erased?)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Oh-oh, oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced, feelin')
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Oh, am I?)
Am I erased? (Erased, am I?)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Ooh, oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced, I'm feelin' replaced)
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Oh-oh, oh-oh, face)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
(Scratched out, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
(Scratched out, erased)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
Oh, oh, yeah
[Bridge: Chris Brown]
Can anybody see me, see me now?
I'm erased from the crowd
So cold and I don't know how
Find me now
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
Am I erased? (Erased)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Oh, oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced)
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Oh, yeah, yeah, face)
Am I erased? (Erased)
Just a segment (Erased) of your imagination, yeah (Oh)
I'm feelin' replaced (Replaced)
Like a faded (Replaced) picture where you can't see my face (Face)
I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)

I'm scratched out, erased (Erased, 'rased, 'rased, erased)
Yeah
Can anybody see me, see me now?

So cold and I don't know how
Find me now
