My friends all tell me every chance they get
That I'm nothing but a fool
If I don't find some way to go on living
And get out and over you
But they don't understand that
No matter where I am or what I do
Or who I do it with I'll always wish
That I was doing it with you
When the lights are all bright
When the lights are down low
In a room full of friends
When there's no one I know
No matter where I may go
Some things never change
I'm in an old familiar place
With an old familiar pain
I sit here in my favorite easy chair
In my favorite old blue jeans
And reminisce about the good old times we had
When you were still in love with me
And every now and then I get up
And straighten up another picture frame
Lord, there's something kind of comforting in knowing
Every day will be the same
When the lights are all bright
When the lights are down low
In a room full of friends
When there's no one I know
No matter where I may go
Some things never change
I'm in an old familiar place
With an old familiar pain
It's an old familiar place
And an old familiar pain
