I don’t think I’m gonna go to L.A. anymore.

The city streets have had their fun
Abusing my feet when I tried to run
No longer will you hold me down
I’m free and flying from this town

Though some things will always be left unsaid
And the letters I wrote in love, unread
Hearing your pain confirms what I know:
Any hope of a fix, I must forgo

The ten and the two may be a lonely sight
But racing to your door tonight
Would be struggling against the safest gray
I'll stay away. I'll stay away.

You had my heart and you’ve kept a piece
But this pain, I know, will someday cease
Today I’m praying for that release
And murmuring soliloquies of perfect peace
