Lyrics
Used To Be My Place
Written by Christopher Dale
Love is a home invasion first I gave you my heart
Then you moved in and things disappeared that was just the start
I’d look but couldn’t find I’d seek but only found
An object I’d never seen before and this was happening all around
Chorus:
Yeah the stuff that I’m missing didn’t leave an empty space
It’s now a spot for your something else in what used to be my place
The dogs playing poker I had hanging on the living room wall
Lost to a full house and a picture of a waterfall
Candles, plants and flowers all up in my face
I reached over to grab my beer and I knocked over a vase
Chorus:
Yeah the stuff that I’m missing didn’t leave an empty space
It’s now a spot for your something else in what used to be my place
My closet is made out of dresses sweaters and high-heeled shoes
I’ve got a dozen hangers in the back corner and a dozen in the spare room
I’m down to one crowded shelf in the medicine cabinet too
I’m singing in the shower with ten different bottles of shampoo
Chorus:
Yeah the stuff that I’m missing didn’t leave an empty space
It’s now a spot for your something else in what used to be my place
Yeah the stuff that I’m missing vanished without a trace
And I’m just hoping as time goes on I’m not the next thing to get replaced
Love is a home invasion but I knew this from the start
When you moved in things would disappear including the hole in my heart
