Looking in the Same Old Places

[verse] Searching for shadows in darkness We were like strangers in the night She said that I was cruel and heartless And that our love could never turn out right Well, maybe I was mistaken But I never meant to do her wrong Now my lonely heart is breaking Lord, how could I have been so wrong [CHORUS] Now I'm looking in the same old places Feeling like the world's gone mad Searching for familiar faces And memories of a love that's passed Looking in the same old places [verse] Searching for a love gone bad Trying to find remaining traces Of the best thing I ever had She was so soft to the touch Just like putty in my hands She would have given me, oh, so much Why didn't I understand... [music breaks for a beat] Lord, why was I such a stupid man? [CHORUS] Now I'm looking in the same old places Feeling like the world's gone mad Searching for familiar faces And memories of a love that's passed Looking in the same old places [Bridge] I can't find what I'm missing Still the search goes on Retracing steps, never skipping Where I went wrong [CHORUS] Now I'm looking in the same old places Feeling like the world's gone mad Searching for familiar faces And memories of a love that's passed Looking in the same old places I'm looking in the same, same old places
