lyrics

sun rises whether or not i do,
i draw the curtains to block out you.
you never shined before,
so why'd you start now?
just a way to keep me wondering
now that i'm not around.
salt heavy air will keep your skin clean,
while mine continues to corrode.
weathered and worn,
left questioning why you're gone
and i'm still here;
why my dream got to become your reality.

now i don't have to see you anymore,
but you're still in my head when i think
about the new life i never got to start-

but you did.

you're not the only one who's let me down
(you left me with a permanent bitterness through this)
you're not the only one who's let me down
(there's no solace that i can see)
you're not the only one who's let me down,
so i hope california always reminds you of me.
