Verse

Glossy, golden city, paparazzi paradise

But lately, you hug the T.V. waiting for this city to live up to the hype

Pre

Never in a million years could you picture tears falling here

Anyone would kill for the hills

(It’s) always greener when you’re looking in

Chorus

Why'd you come to LA if you knew it would break you while you’re looking away

Followed the sun to the States - you knew it would change you, now you’re forced to stay

Sinking deeper everyday

Why’d you come to LA if you knew it would turn the rest of your world gray

Verse

Guilty, everybody’s guilty, smiling in the dead heat way too long

Too sweet, smoking on a pipe dream

Slipped through the concrete alone

Pre

Never in a million years could you picture tears falling here

Anyone would kill for the hills

(It’s) always greener when you’re looking in

Chorus

Why'd you come to LA if you knew it would break you while you’re looking away

Followed the sun to the States - you knew it would change you, now you’re forced to stay

Sinking deeper everyday

Why’d you come to LA if you knew it would turn the rest of your world gray
