The Place

This used to be the place, but now it's just a place
I come to when I'm feeling down
Away from the misery of my recent history
When we were the talk of the town
I throw darts and shoot pool or sit on my bar stool
And stare at the booze on the shelves

This used to be the place, but now it's just a place
That's sadder than anyplace else

She used to be my girl, but not any more, girl
She's living with somebody new
When they ask how I'm coping, I say, "Yes, I'm hoping"
But inside I'm breaking in two
So it's back to the old place that used to be our place
As I watch you walk in the room

I give you a grin, but you're dancing with him
And I pretend I don't smell your perfume

This used to be the place, but now it's just a place
I come to when I'm feeling down
Away from the misery of my recent history
When we were the talk of the town
I throw darts and shoot pool or sit on my bar stool
And stare at the booze on the shelves

This used to be the place, but now it's just a place
That's sadder than anyplace else

This used to be the place, but now it's just a place
That's sadder than anyplace else
