Snakes in La

I don't care what your friends say. They don't know me anyway. They feed your paranoia, they don't want us together. Don't care what they think about me, they don't want to see you happy. When your backs up the wall, they wish it away so they can watch you fall.

I don't need to deal with that, I'm the only one here who has your back. Don't have time for what they assume, no one should come between me and you. I know you have your past, you're not the only one here with a heart of glass. Don't believe a word they say, just look me in the eyes and stay.

Right here. Where we're safe. Far away. From the snakes in LA.

Don't say goodbye, it's all lies. They just wanna see me cry. You assume it's all true but I've been good to you. Have you thought just for once that you could be safe in my arms? I've got nothing left to prove. Not a drop of malice towards you.

Don't run away, it's alright. It's just a matter of time. They'll get bored they'll move on, we'll still be standing strong. Don't be afraid of the dark, we'll sleep til the night is through. When the truth all comes out, the light will clear your doubts.

They couldn't be more wrong about me. They'll never even say they're sorry. How am I a cheater if I never leave my home? When it comes down to it how would they even know? Don't believe a single word they say. They should know its not their place. What drives people to even lie the way they do? Do they understand the damage they can do?
