California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me
All my friends are doing drugs to
Drown out their anxiety
California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me
All my friends are doing drugs to
Drown out their anxiety
I don't wanna make all the same mistakes
And it's such a tragedy
California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me
The lights seem to love you
For you, girl, they all move
When the cameras around you
I'm in the corner trapped in a white room
And I don't wanna tell you
Be the angel of bad news
But I'm watching you shining meanwhile I'm dying
Damn, what did I do?
And I wish that I hated you
It would help with these regrets
I was so scared of losing you
So I lost myself instead (yeah)
I'm running out of space
God, I hate this place (no)
California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me (a mess of me)
All my friends are doing drugs to
Drown out their anxiety (anxiety)
I don't wanna make all the same mistakes
And it's such a tragedy
California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me (a mess of me)
Feeling uptight, feeling let down
Got no place to go
I'm moving out from the runaround
All I had left was you
And I don't wanna wait no more
It's been getting harder to pretend
I don't wanna chase you anymore
'Cause I can't waste my time again
California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me
All my friends are doing drugs to
Drown out their anxiety
I don't wanna make all the same mistakes
And it's such a tragedy
California looks good on ya
But it made a mess of me (a mess of me)
A mess of me
