California and Me Lyrics

Should have figured that you′d go back to New York
Don't consider me when you run back to her
You don′t have to hide it, I know why you wait
Said you needed space, I know better than that
Mm-mm

Could have fought for you, but I just let you leave
Hurt too much to consider you didn't love me
The mountains of Valais will weep through the night
Driving down sunset's a terrible sight
Mm-mm

Left me and the ocean for your old flame
Holding back my tears, I couldn′t make you stay
Can′t quit this
So damn wicked
To leave California and me

I imagine you holding her in your arms
Laughing 'bout how I thought that you were the one
I get so anxious and maybe I′m young
The first sign of trouble and I bite my tongue
Mm-mm

Left me and the ocean for your old flame
Holding back my tears, I couldn't make you stay
Can′t quit this
So damn wicked
To leave California and me
