"LA" lyrics

I'm in L.A.
There are tears streaming down my face now you're gone
Amid the chaos and disaster, see, I thought
If I fly to the moon and fall in love
The way I did with you

I'm a bird that's grounded
And my heart beats for the sea
Now I have to leave
Now that life has moved on
There's nothing here for me

And if I stay
The pain will only carry on
And if I stay
The pain will only carry on

The years may age us
But on the inside we're the same
I picture you, you're just a memory, a flame
You'll always be there
But please don't ask me to stay in this cathedral
And the role you made for me

I'm a bird that's grounded
And my heart beats for the sea
Now I have to leave
Now that life has moved on
There's nothing here for me
And if I stay the pain will only carry on
Now that I'm here in Los Angeles
I'm in the land of the gods
There's nothing here for me

And if I stay
The pain will only carry on
And if I stay
The pain will only carry on

Yeah
Now that I'm here in Los Angeles
I'm in the land of the gods
There's nothing here for me
And if I stay
The pain will only carry on
