california

Never believed in heaven or God But, I believe you're somewhere Watching over me, over us Hope it's nice where you are (Oh, where you are) And I hope you've found peace I've come to terms and settled I cry every time when I try pick up the pieces It's a painful chasm that doesn't get better I went to California to make it, to get out The L.A. lights are bright but they're all turning off now They said you'd feel better when you're grown But, I just wanna go home But, I just wanna go home I just wanna go home I hear the voice of somebody who sounds like me And, it sounds pretty convincin' "If you stay you'll get happy But, that's a promise that I can't keep" I moved to California to find love, to feel free I broke my own heart by believing in a dream I always felt fine alone But, I just wanna go home I just wanna go home I just wanna go home I hear the voice of somebody who sounds like me And, it sounds pretty convincin' "If you stay we can make you happy If you stay we can make you happy But, that's a promise that I can't believe" Nope, ah Did it once and got burned For a moment thought it was worth it I could only get off to the thought of you But, you moved on far too soon Fear the lovin' and leavin' left me scarred Things you said I find a little hard to believe So, you leave I regret you and what we did I won't forget it as long as I live Did you make intimacy hard 'Cause you broke me into so many little parts Scattered them around for me to find It hurts too much, and I unwind I feel guilty and disgusting whenever it's done and said It's all because of you... Fucking hell, man (Fucking hell) You're my detriment You're my detriment (Fucked it up again) Fucked it up again You're my detriment Detriment A man who caused hurt and panic A boy who was a perfectly good man, 'til he wasn't I was a boy who got used in the search of something (Collateral damage) Collateral damage Wanna go to California In my mind I go there most of the time It helps to rewind And clears my life I wanna go to California, but I know I'd just wanna go back home I know I'd wanna go home The L.A. lights are too bright A city plunged into night You sang sickly sweet lullabies You're my detriment, but my Alibi (my Alibi)
