[Verse 1]
Should've 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 went
Said you needed space, I know better than that
Mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
Should've fought for you but I just let you leave
Hurt too much to consider you didn't love me
The mountains of L.A. will weep through the night
Driving down Sunset's a terrible sight
Mm-mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
I imagine you holding her in your arms
Laughing 'bout how I thought that you were the onе
I get so anxious and maybe I'm young
The first sign of troublе and I bite my tongue
Mm-mm-mm-mm
[Chorus]
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
