Every time I think that I want this I feel you turn me back Called me then you couldn't be honest, I couldn't handle that You never handed me, you never handed me the truth Counting up the cards and the scars I kept 'Cause I hated who I was in Los Angeles Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you So leave me to the memories I still have yet to lose Of me and you, convincing me to stay but I refuse I'm running out of words like medication Withdrawing from the pain of dedication Sweating out the years of conversation with you Days get a little bit shorter and now that we're always traveling Life gets a little harder and time is all that you have with me It's all you had with me, it's all you had with me to lose Back when I gave you that record, you said you weren't a fan of his When you were living in Brooklyn you said that you'd never dance to this But in Los Angeles, but in Los Angeles you do So leave me to the memories I still have yet to lose Of me and you, convincing me to stay but I refuse I'm running out of words like medication Withdrawing from the pain of dedication Sweating out the years of conversation with you Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you
