"Sweet L.A." Lyrics

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?

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?
