Little story:

When I was younger, I would go to the park and spend all the afternoon playing spend a large part of my day by myself. I was used to it. My mother would call me for dinner in an office and usually did so after 8pm arrive after 7pm. She would always ask about my day (How my day was )cook dinner and then talk to me about hers go to sleep. I didn’t like to hear her stories being atll by myself. I wished I could skip those momentsI had a brother. I asked once if we could change the topic my mother for a pet but she told me it was important to hershe told me we couldn’t afford one. If I had had a time machine had a pet, I would have passed through those conversations. been much happier.

    This used to be my playground

    The song is a slow ballad about a woman who can't and let go of her past, with the implication that her present circumstances aren't so good

    As many have mentioned, it is more about innocence and a comfort of being a child when you can run to somewhere or someone who can make it all okay


    This used to be my childhood dreamThis used to be the place I ran toWhenever I was in need of a friendWhy did it have to end?And why do they always say?
    Don't look backKeep your head held highDon't ask them why because life is shortAnd before you know you're feeling oldAnd your heart is breakingDon't hold on to the pastWell that's too much to ask
    This used to be my playground (ah used to be)This used to be my childhood dreamThis used to be the place I ran toWhenever I was in need of a friendWhy did it have to end?And why do they always say?, no regrets
    But I wish that you were here with meWell then there's hope yetI can see your face in our secret placeYou're not just a memorySay goodbye to yesterdayThose 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 joyThis used to be the place we ran toThat no one in the world could dare destroy
    This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our childhood dreamThis used to be the place we ran toI wish you were standing here with me
    This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our childhood dreamThis used to be the place we ran toThe best things in life are always free
    Wishing you were here with me
