"LA" lyrics

I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of running away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight
I guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA

When I was young
My father told me not to cry in front of my mom
Said, "it's time to grow up"
And now that I'm older
I couldn't tell you the last time I cried if I want
No time now to be young
So I put on a show, slap on a smile
Don't let them know you're not doing all too fine
Well, I'll be fine

I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of running away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight
Guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA

Everyone comes here
But nobody leaves
Yeah, we're all only actors
No one's actually happy
It's all "who do you know?" and "when did you know them?"
Not "where you're from?" but "where are you goin'?"
"How can you help me get to where I need?"
When everything is going right
They're on your side
But just as your luck runs out
They're harder to find

I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of running away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight
Guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA

I just gotta get out of LA
I just gotta get
