[Verse 1}

Recovering addict of melancholy madness

That's just sadness wrapped into some pretty words

When everything and everybody that you love

Still make you hurt

Cause love is a forest fire and your bound to get burned

It's a careful dance between beauty and pain

But standing still is worse

I lost you to Los Angeles

The city of the sun rained on us

And I never felt red until you left

Maybe you never cared like you said

I left the city that was mine

I thought I left my intimacy issues behind

They're held in the bags I wear under my eyes

And it's no surprise

I look at the city see the windows filled with light

I always wonder bout' the stories inside

The one's that play on repeat in our minds at night

And mine goes like

I lost you to Los Angeles

The city of the sun rained on us

And I never felt red until you left

Maybe you never cared like you said

Please don't pull me back with your tears

Cause I'll swim in your sadness

If it means you're near

I'll go to the city that

Caused this whole mess

I lost you to Los Angeles

I lost you to Los Angeles

The city of the sun rained on us

And I never felt red until you left

Maybe you never cared like you said
