This used to be my playground (Extend Version)
This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need of a friend
Why did it have to end and why do they always say
''Don't look back, keep your head held high''
Don't ask them why, because life is short
And before you know you're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past, well, that's too much to ask
This used to be my playground [where I used to be]
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need of a friend
Why did it have to end and why do they always say
''Live and learn'', well, the years they flew
And we never knew we were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday [can't say goodbye]
This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need of a friend
Why did it have to end and why do they always say
''No regrets''
But I wish that you were here with me
Well, then there's hope yet
I can see your face in our secret place
You're not just a memory
''Say goodbye to yesterday''
Those are words I'll never say [I'll never say]
This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me
