City of Angels

In the City of Angels

You could be anything,

Say anything,

Do anything

And through all that time

The only thing I wanted

Was to be in love

Like a scene from a movie

I had a love

I had a passion

And we kissed as we hiked to the Hollywood sign

And we fell in love walking down to the pier

And we knew we were soul mates as we held hands as we sat in traffic

Love was perfect

Love was good

And we could be anything in the City of Angels

But with good love

It can grow sour

One day, in the City of Angels,

You can wake up and not know who you are

You don’t know who you’re waking up next to anymore

In the City of Angels

You could be, say, and do anything

You can be anyone

And what I wanted to be was a woman of passion

But that passion turned sour

We texted in traffic, rather than holding our hands

The walks to the pier were not the same

And we barely noticed the Hollywood sign after some time

In the City of Angels you could fall in love

But in the City of Angels you could fall out of love

I wanted to love

And I forgot how to love

And now I look at the time gone by

And I wonder who I am

Who you are

And I wish I could wake up next to the people we used to be

In the City of Angels
