Maybe you can walk away
But I know that Im not leaving
Cause I still love the mess you made
Of my life in California

When we met we met halfway
Between need and desolation
I went drifting in your eyes
Fell like stars straight out of heaven

Chorus:
Shouldve never closed my eyes
Maybe thats the reason why
You went running back to Georgia
Im just another casualty left to grieve in California

Got that picture in a frame
The one we took for a few quarters
Back in that broken down arcade
I had it made so Id remember

How it felt to be the one
Who you needed to be with you
You left a piece of me undone
You took enough to see yourself through

(Chorus)
And now I bleed and theres nothing left for me
But to grieve for whats never gonna bein California

(build to instrumental and to last chorus)

Shouldve never closed my eyes
Maybe thats the reason why you went running
Running back, running back oh no
Im just another casualty left to grieve in California
