And I wish that I hated you It would help with these regrets (yeah) I was so scared of losing you So I lost myself instead (yeah) Yeah, I'm running out of space God, I hate this place (no) California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (a mess of me) All my friends are doing drugs to Drown out their anxiety (anxiety) I don't wanna make all the same mistakes And it's such a tragedy California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (a mess of me) Feeling uptight, feeling let down Got no place to go I'm moving out from the runaround All I had left was you And I don't wanna wait no more It's been getting harder to pretend I don't wanna chase you anymore 'Cause I can't waste my time again California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (yeah) All my friends are doing drugs to Drown out their anxiety I don't wanna make all the same mistakes And it's such a tragedy California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (a mess of me) A mess of me
