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

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

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

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

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

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
