City of Angels

It's hard havin' a heart in the city Look at the stars, waitin' for someone to tell you, "You're pretty, you're enough" So it goes, I don't know what the feeling's like to be comfortable With a stranger in your skin, don't know why you let them in We used to talk about the fakers in LA But now you're one of 'em, and damn, it hurts to say I should've seen it comin' from a mile away, a mile away You always wanted to take before you give But what's the fun of it? I don't know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills Gives me chills City of angels Used to say, "If you ever made it, I'd be the first call" And life would stay fairly the same Oh, our friendship wouldn't change at all But you busted, haven't talked in a year I mistrusted, now it's all comin' clear That you only think of yourself May be loved, but you're lonely as hell, oh We used to talk about the fakers in LA But now you're one of 'em, I guess you got your way I bet you're tired of all the games you had to play, you had to play You always wanted to take before you give But what's the fun of it? I don't know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills Gives me chills City of angels That's what they call us, right? Wish you were able To see there's so much more to life Than fortune and fame, validation and pain When you always want more There's nothing to gain We used to talk about the fakers in LA But now you're one of 'em, and damn, it hurts to say Damn, it hurts to say You always wanted to take before you give But what's the fun of it? I don't know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills Gives me chills City of angels That's what they call us, right? Wish you were able To see there's so much more to life City of angels That's what they call us, right? City of angels
