He said he always goes for cold-hearted brunettes

And I helped him get over that I guess

Cause you're warm and golden and had him falling before you ever met

And my heart started sinking like a sunset

I'm in love with him and he's in love with you

It's a classic Hollywood story but God, I wish this one wasn't true

In his mind he's just leaving where he went through hell on earth

There's nothing I could've done to keep him from running from that kind of hurt

I wish that I could be the one to make him happy

But I guess I can't give him what you can, Cali

I could've loved him til the day I died

But your ocean breeze makes him feel so alive

I guess holding me doesn't compare to that kind of paradise

I have to admit, based on his pictures you look nice

I'm in love with him and he's in love with you

It's a classic Hollywood story but God, I wish this one wasn't true

In his mind he's just leaving where he went through hell on earth

There's nothing I could've done to keep him from running from that kind of hurt

I wish that I could be the one to make him happy

But I guess I can't give him what you can, Cali

He says he'll never settle down with you

But by the way he talks about ya, I don't believe that's true

Thanks to you he finally gets to move on

And I get to keep writing sad love songs

Cause I'm in love with him and he's in love with you

It's a classic Hollywood story but God, I wish this one wasn't true

There's a part of me that knows it wouldn't work out anyway

And part of me hopes he'll find himself in you and come back to me one day

But if I can't be the one to make him happy

Promise me you'll give him everything you can, Cali

Oh, give him everything you can
