I want you No matter what it cost me I tore myself apart inside for you Just for you, L. A Packed my whole life in a suitcase, left it all behind Thought the pain would fade away, but it's still here insid Every street I used to know feels like a stranger's home (mmm) But I'm back where I belong, even though I'm all alone Oh, L. A I said goodbye to my past for a dream you never promised me But I, I believed so quietly that tonight I'm standing here (standing here) And I, I sing Just to understand So I remember what I had to leave behind Won't let me get lost in what I might find down here I'm gonna face it, slowly I'm gonna find my way (find my way) My lips sealed this promise in the desert air And when I walk by, I'll know it was worth it, L. A I'll know it was worth it All those quiet nights when I questioned everything (everything) But I'm still here learning, still here growing Still here believing in what might be (what might be) Oh, L. A I said goodbye to everything for a dream that lives in me (lives in me) And I, I believed so deep that now I understand (I understand) And I, I sing For anyone who'll hear 'Cause I remember why I had to take this leap Won't let me get conquered by the ghosts that live out here I'm gonna face them, quietly I'm gonna heal them My lips sealed this promise in the golden light These streets will remember me, they'll know I made it right (they'll know) And when I pass through, I'll know it was worth it, L. A I'll know it was worth it (I'll know it was worth it) L. A., you're mine now L. A., I'm home now (home now)
