Do you think of me
When you're in California alone?
It's a lonely place at the best of times, Lord knows
I won't lie to you
I could have given you more
But life got fast
Good things don't last anymore
Now and then you cross my mind
It takes me back to a sweeter time
But I let it go
I let you go
'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
But I can't think of anyone else
Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
But you'rе not here, baby
And I can't love anyonе else
'Til I forgive myself
Did you lie to me
When you said I was all that you need?
Guess we'll never know all the beautiful things we could be
Now and then you cross my mind
It takes me back to a sweeter time
But I let it go
I let you go
'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
But I can't think of anyone else
Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
But you're not here, baby
And I can't love anyone else
'Til I forgive myself, ooh
'Til I forgive myself, ooh
'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
But I can't think of anyone else
Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
But you're not here, baby
And I can't love anyone else
'Til I forgive myself
