Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Take me back to L.A.

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 a sea

But now I can't even feel the breeze

And it hurts when I think about (think about)

The nights we would always shout

My voice cracking when we scream

You scream, we scream

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, yeah

By myself, uh

By myself, yeah

Oh, it's better when I'm by myself

Take me back to a place

Where the snow would fall on my face

And I miss my city lights

I left too young

Take me back to a time

The trophies that I had would still shine

Now I have nothing real left

I want my soul

And it hurts when I think about (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 (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 (whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh)

By myself

...

Oh, I hate it when I'm by myself (oh)

Oh, by myself, uh

Oh, by myself (I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be)

I hate it when I'm by myself

...

By myself

Cold, by myself (na-na-na-na-na-na)

By my-, oh

By myself

By myself

By myself

By myself

...
