to my ex-lover

there's one thing i want to say, so i'll be brave
you were what i wanted
i gave what i gave
i'm not sorry i met you
i'm not sorry it's over

a long december and there's reason to believe
maybe this year will be better than the last
i can't remember the last thing

and it's one more day up in the canyons
and it's one more night in hollywood
if you think that i could be forgiven...

makes you talk a little lower
about the things you could not show her

and it's been a long december and there's reason to believe
maybe this year will be better than the last
i can't remember all the times i tried to tell my myself
to hold on to these moments as they pass

and it's one more day up in the canyon
and it's one more night in hollywood
it's been so long since I've seen the ocean...
i guess i should
