I Used to Love Him

Somewhere across town

There's a guy in a room with a light on

He's been sober for a while

There ain't much left to get high on

Picks up a guitar then he puts it back down

Lights up a smoke as he's putting one out

His silhouette just paces the floor 'til the night is gone

'Cause I colored his eyes that sad shade of blue

And I'm probably the reason he covered that tattoo

He put the cracks in my damn broken heart

And we were so good together, we're better apart

But I remember on nights like tonight

Somewhere across town, there's a guy

And I used to love him

We'd sit on the ground, dropping the needle on some Neil Young

And we'd talk about getting old together while we were still young

And sometimes I pick up the phone and I put it back down

Light up a memory then let it burn out

It's too late now to undo the damage that's been done

'Cause I colored his eyes that sad shade of blue

And I'm probably the reason he covered that tattoo

He put the cracks in my damn broken heart

And we were so good together, we're better apart

But I remember on nights like tonight

Somewhere across town, there's a guy

And I used to love him

With all that I had

So I take two steps forward, then I want him back

Ain't that sad

That I colored his eyes that sad shade of blue

And I wonder if he's got regrets, 'cause I do

He put the cracks in my damn broken heart

And we were so good together, we're better apart

But I remember on nights like tonight

Something that could have been mine

Somewhere across town, there's a guy

And I used to love him

Somewhere across town
