Take me back to LA (album version) The Weeknd

**lyrics gathered from multiple recent live performances**

[Verse 1]
Take me out of LA
When the sun will kiss my face
Now the sunshine will follow my skin
I've stayed for so long
Take me back to a time
When my blood never tasted like wine
My love could fill the sea
But now I can't even feel the breeze
And it hurts when I think about
The nights when we would always scream
My voice breaking when we screamed
You screamed, we screamed
And they watched as I wiped your eyes
And I learned to cover mine
And that's when I realized

[Chorus]
It's better when I'm on my own
On my own, on my own, yeah, oh-oh
It's better when I'm on my own

[Verse 2]
Take me back to a place
Where the snow will fall on my face
And I miss the lights of my city
I left too young
Take me back to a time
Where the trophies I had would still shine
Now I've got nothing real left
I want my soul
And it hurts when I think about
The days when I would tell myself
That It's okay if I scream
Scream, scream
I put my hand in the fire
And see if I still cry (I still cry)
And that's when I realize that
