Ian Be - california
Never believed in heaven or GodBut, I believe you're somewhere
Watching over me, over us
Hope it's nice where you are (Oh, where you are)
And I hope you've found peace
I've come to terms and settled
I cry every time when I try pick up the pieces
It's a painful chasm that doesn't get better
I went to California to make it, to get out
The L.A. lights are bright but they're all turning off now
They said you'd feel better when you're grown
But, I just wanna go home
But, I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I hear the voice of somebody who sounds like me
And, it sounds pretty convincin'
"If you stay you'll get happy
But, that's a promise that I can't keep"
I moved to California to find love, to feel free
I broke my own heart by believing in a dream
I always felt fine alone
But, I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I hear the voice of somebody who sounds like me
And, it sounds pretty convincin'
"If you stay we can make you happy
If you stay we can make you happy
But, that's a promise that I can't believe"
Nope, ah
Did it once and got burned
For a moment thought it was worth it
I could only get off to the thought of you
But, you moved on far too soon
Fear the lovin' and leavin' left me scarred
Things you said I find a little hard to believe
So, you leave
I regret you and what we did
I won't forget it as long as I live
Did you make intimacy hard
'Cause you broke me into so many little parts
Scattered them around for me to find
It hurts too much, and I unwind
I feel guilty and disgusting whenever it's done and said
It's all because of you...
Fucking hell, man (Fucking hell)
You're my detriment
You're my detriment (Fucked it up again)
Fucked it up again
You're my detriment
Detriment
A man who caused hurt and panic
A boy who was a perfectly good man, 'til he wasn't
I was a boy who got used in the search of something (Collateral damage)
Collateral damage
Wanna go to California
In my mind
I go there most of the time
It helps to rewind
And clears my life
I wanna go to California, but I know I'd just wanna go back home
I know I'd wanna go home
The L.A. lights are too bright
A city plunged into night
You sang sickly sweet lullabies
You're my detriment, but my Alibi (my Alibi)
