Should've figured That you'd go back to New York Don't consider me When you run back to her You don't have to hide it I know why you went Said you needed space I know better than that Could've fought for you But I just let you leave Hurt too much to consider You didn't love me The mountains of LA Will weep through the night Driving down sunset's a terrible sight Left me and the ocean for your old flame Holding back my tears I couldn't make you stay Can't quit this, so damn wicked To leave California and me I imagine you holding her in your arms Laughing bout how I thought that you were the one I get so anxious and maybe I'm young The first sign of trouble and I bite my tongue Left me and the ocean for your old flame Holding back my tears I couldn't make you stay Can't quit this so damn wicked To leave California and me
She sounds curiously mystical. The dreamlike arpeggios could just as easily accompany a classical piece from hundreds of years prior, truly timeless. If our Laufey can make heartbreak so, hauntingly dreamlike and bittersweet then one would really be pressed to imagine what sort of elegance she can’t capture!
Laufey really knows how to write songs that touches the soul. I usually don’t listen to classical songs but Laufey puts so much emotion and effort into her songs which makes it hard to not listen to. Props to her and the Philharmonia Orchestra. ❤️👏
1:17 Makes me melt omg
LAUFEY NEVER MISS 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
"Holding back my tears, I couldn't make you stay." CRYING.

Laufey, this song is so magical, yet heartbreaking. The orchestra sounds amazing. Thank you for making such a masterpiece and I cannot wait for the new album and the other songs you'll have planned for us in the future! I LOVE YOUR MUSIC <33
The fact that you included the chords was a really sweet touch, and the aesthetic is super pretty
OMG PLEASE LET THIS BE AN ALBUM WITH THE ORCHESTRA!
Laufey songs usually evoke strong emotions, but this song hits on a whole new level when you live in California-
California needs more people like you !
Laufey's voice is so angelic. I could listen to her voice every moment that I can frfr‼️‼️
One of the most elegant singers of our generation right here. So masterfully done.
"I couldn't make, you, stay" every single time I hear that part my heart breaks into a billion little idybidy pieces it's like a feeling on a different level 😢 i said this yesterday but this song is so magical, yet so soul crushing 😞
This song and collaboration between Laufey and the Philharmonia Orchestra are the epitome of ethereal!
there is something so transporting about this song. you can really feel the emotion in every lyric and the orchestra brings it to another level. you’ve done it yet again, laufey ❤️
While listening to Laufey's duet with Barbra Streisand I discovered Laufey. I went to Itunes and discovered this beautiful song. Thank Laufey for writting such a lovely piece of music🤗🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
PLS THERE ISN'T A SINGLE LAUFEY SONG I DONT LIKE SHE LITERALLY EATS UP EVERY SONG SHE MAKES
