We met in a place I used to go,
Now I just walk by it for show,
Can't bear to go in without you, you know,
Wish I could,
Wish I could.

But Annie is standing in the door,
With a look on her face I can't just ignore,
She tells me that her heart is sore,
And pulls me in,
She pulls me in.

She says "love in the time of war is not fair",
"He was my man but they didn't care",
"Sent him far away from here",
"No goodbye",
"No goodbye".

I don't tell her that I once loved you too,
Or about all the things we used to do,
I kiss her hair and think of you,
Walking down,
The road you found.

We met in a place I used to go,
Now I only walk by it slow,
Can't bear to go in without you, you know,
Wish I could,
Wish I could,
Wish I could,
Wish I could.
