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
