Lyrics

THE WAY IT USED TO BE
LONELY TABLE JUST FOR ONE, IN A BRIGHT AND CROWDED ROOMWHILE THE MUSIC HAS BEGUN, I DRINK TO MEMORIES IN THE GLOOM THOUGH THE MUSIC'S STILL THE SAME, IT HAS A BITTERSWEET REFRAIN SO PLAY THE SONG THE WAY IT USED TO BE BEFORE SHE LEFT AND CHANGED IT ALL TO SADNESS AND MAYBE IF SHE'S PASSING BY THE WINDOW SHE WILL HEAR A LOVE SONG, AND A MELODY AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER, THE WAY IT USED TO BE FRIENDS STOP BY AND SAY HELLO, AND I LAUGH AND HIDE THE PAIN IT'S QUITE EASY 'TIL THEY GO, THEN THE SONG BEGINS AGAIN SO PLAY THE SONG THE WAY IT USED TO BE BEFORE SHE LEFT AND CHANGED IT ALL TO SADNESS AND MAYBE IF SHE'S PASSING BY THE WINDOW SHE WILL HEAR A LOVE SONG, AND A MELODY AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY IT USED TO BE
