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
