<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
I broke my promise<br><br />
That I wouldn't write another song about you<br><br />
I guess I lied - after twelve years I still love you<br><br />
On the phone you sound happy but a heart can cry<br><br />
And you don't see the tears<br />
<br />
I'm glad you went back<br />
<br />
The California sun always shines but<br><br />
San Francisco is a cold place<br><br />
To have a run of bad luck<br><br />
People like to shine their little flashlights in your face<br />
<br />
I'm glad you went back<br />
<br />
The blue, blue sky is made of butcher knives<br><br />
And everyone you meet is wearing some stupid disguise<br><br />
In Columbus there's no spotlight to dazzle your eyes<br><br />
I hope you find someone who loves you<br><br />
'Cause only love can save you<br />
<br />
I broke my promise 'cause I've missed you for so long<br><br />
I can feel you in my life when you're happy<br><br />
No matter where you are<br />
<br />
I'm glad you went back<br />
