LA

I don't wanna go back to LA
Every smokey sunset reminds me
Of where we've been, who we were
What we didn't do when we were laying in our bed all day
I don't wanna go back to LA
Now I'm on my own
No, you weren't my home
I should've known
You were all about hotels, diamonds
Fuckin' and fightin'
Look who you've invited
You don't even like 'em
You feel your glory
So go and write it
I'm not a girl on the side
I don't wanna go back anyway
Everyone is lying to your face
I see you hide behind a friend
It never ends
I don't wanna go back to LA
Forty-eight hours of distance
Realised I don't need permission
You and I were just so different
You were all about hotels, diamonds
Fuckin' and fightin'
Look who you've invited
You don't even like 'em
You feel your glory
So go and write it
I'm not a girl on the side
You were all about hotels, diamonds
Fuckin' and fightin'
Look who you've invited
You don't even like 'em
You feel your glory
So go and write it
I'm not a girl on the side
Just another face in that town
I don't know why I thought you were different
If only I knew then what I do now
You were all about hotels, diamonds
Look who you've invited
You don't even like 'em
You feel your glory
So go and write it
I'm not a girl on the side
You were all about hotels, diamonds
Fuckin' and fightin'
Look who you've invited
You don't even like 'em
You feel your glory
So go and write it
I'm not a girl on the side
