LA
[Chorus]
I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of runnin' away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringin' 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

[Verse 1]
When I was young
My father told me not to cry in front of my mom
Said, "It's time to grow up," oh-oh
And now that I'm older
I couldn't tell you the last time I cried if I want
No time not to be on
So I put on a show, slap on a smile
Don't let 'em know you're not doin' all too fine
Well, I'll be fine

[Chorus]
I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of runnin' away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringin' mе down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll makе it tonight
Guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA
[Verse 2]
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 goin' right, they're on your side
But just as your luck runs out, they're harder to find

[Chorus]
I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of runnin' away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringin' 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

[Outro]
Oh
I just gotta get out of LA
I just gotta get out of LA
Oh-oh
I just gotta get, I just gotta get
