This empty kitchen where I'd wallow in the hours Just next to my old chair, I'd usually have some flowers The shelves of books, even the pictures, everything's gone But my heart is hanging on If this old neighborhood survived a small thaw Don't know that it withstood all the things that took our life You on the stairs, I can see that everything's gone But my heart is hanging on Once I was a little girl, used to wonder what she would be But out into the big wide world, now she's just a memory There used to be a little school here, where I learned to write my name Time has been a little cruel here, time has no shame It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live Now in another town, you lead another life And now upstairs and down, someone else's ride Here in the dust, there's not a trace of everything that's gone But my heart is hanging on It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live
