Chorus

wake up miss california, the city of angels gonna ruin your life, you'll never fail, you'll never struggle, you've got to find a way to love your life


she's barely, barely, barely 21and yet the young girl doesn't even know her first name, sometimes dreams of playing in the sun she should live for the future, or live for the day? she's killing herself with all of her lies, 

why did she go, why did she leave? i was 10 years old, man, i can't believe she left me, and now she's back trying to talk to me, with a broken heart and shattered dreams


chorus


now you're barely, barely, barely 31 looking for a way out, hoping you can get out, you talk about your dreams while you snort coke in front of your son, but you've got no one left to blame, except yourself and the choices you made the choices you made. why did you go, why did you leave? i was 10 years old, man, i can't believe you left me, and now, you're back trying to talk to me, with a broken heart and shattered dreams


chorus


you forgot about, all those books you read, you forgot about the dreams inside of your head. 


chorus


why did you go? (x8)
