Lyrics
Take me back to L.A.
Where the sun would kiss on my face
Now the sunshine tracks my skin
I stayed too long
Take me back to a time
When my blood never tasted like wine
My love could fill a sea
But now I can't even feel the breeze
And it hurts when I think about (think about)
The nights we would always shout
My voice cracking when we scream
You scream, we scream
And I watched while you wiped your eyes (wiped your eyes)
Then I learned to cover mine
And that's when I realized that
It's better when I'm by myself, yeah
By myself, uh
By myself, yeah
Oh, it's better when I'm by myself
Take me back to a place
Where the snow would fall on my face
And I miss my city lights
I left too young
Take me back to a time
The trophies that I had would still shine
Now I have nothing real left
I want my soul
And it hurts when I think about (think about)
The days I would tell myself
It's okay for me to scream
To scream, to scream
I put my hand over the fire (over the fire)
And see if I can still cry (can still cry)
And that's when I realize that
I hate it when I'm by myself
By myself (whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh)
By myself
Oh, I hate it when I'm by myself (oh)
Oh, by myself, uh
Oh, by myself (I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be)
I hate it when I'm by myself
By myself
Cold, by myself (na-na-na-na-na-na)
By my-, oh
By myself
By myself
By myself
By myself
