| Sweet L. A
|
| I gave my broken soul to you
|
| Sweet L. A
|
| Why do you hurt me like you do?
|
| I keep running and rushing to catch a clue
|
| To the mystery of your dark heart
|
| I could never have known
|
| From the signs I was shown
|
| That the game was rigged from the start
|
| Sweet L. A
|
| All of these trials you’ve put me through
|
| Sweet L. A
|
| Why do you hurt me like you do?
|
| Underneath all the glamour and flashing lights
|
| There are shadows nobody sees
|
| In the dim of your dusk
|
| You’re a cold bloody husk
|
| Spreading poison into the breeze
|
| Sweet L. A
|
| Why do you hurt me like you do?
|
| (Why do you hurt me like you do?)
|
| Open the oldest wounds
|
| These memories haunt me
|
| Your secrets and crooked smiles
|
| They torment and taunt me
|
| I long for atonement’s arms
|
| Carry me back
|
| But the reel keeps on spinning loose and the screen
|
| Is fading to black
|
| Sweet L. A
|
| I gave my broken soul to you
|
| Sweet L. A
|
| Why do you hurt me like you do?
|
| (Why do you hurt me like you do?)
|
| Like you do? |
