Take me back to LA
Where the sun would kiss on my face
Now the sunshine tracks my skin
I stayed too long
Take me back to a time
When my blood never tasted like wine
My love could fill the sea
But now I can't even feel the breeze
And it hurts when I think about
The nights we would always shout
My voice cracking when we screamed
You screamed, we screamed
And I watched while you wiped your eyes (Wiped your eyes)
Then I learned to cover mine
And that's when I realized that
It's better when I'm by myself
By myself, by myself, yeah, oh-oh
It's better when I'm by myself
Take me back to a place
Where the snow will fall on my face
And I miss my city lights
I left too young
Take me back to a time
The trophies that I won still shine
Now I have nothing real left
I want my soul
And it hurts when I think about
The days I would tell myself
It's okay for me to scream
To scream, to scream
I put my hand over the fire
And see if I can still cry (Can still cry)
And that's when I realize that
I hate it when I'm by myself
By myself (oh), by myself, oh-oh
I hate it when I'm by myself
By myself, by myself
I hate it when I'm by myself
