Should've figured
That you'd go back to New York
Don't consider me
When you run back to her

You don't have to hide it
I know why you went
Said you needed space
I know better than that

Could've fought for you
But I just let you leave
Hurt too much to consider
You didn't love me

The mountains of LA
Will weep through the night
Driving down sunset's a terrible sight

Left me and the ocean for your old flame
Holding back my tears I couldn't make you stay
Can't quit this, so damn wicked
To leave California and me

I imagine you holding her in your arms
Laughing bout how I thought that you were the one
I get so anxious and maybe I'm young
The first sign of trouble and I bite my tongue

Left me and the ocean for your old flame
Holding back my tears I couldn't make you stay
Can't quit this so damn wicked
To leave California and me
