Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your daddy bought you a new black Jetta
A little something else to curb the pain
Waitin’ on a call, text, or whatever
Your life’s a storm cloud without any rain
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Filled your life full of boys that are broken
Validation needed more than you
Scratching your arm with the blade while you’re smoking
I wanna cover you
[Chorus]
Said, "I love you, California, but you’re bringin’ me down"
You love me, then you hate me, then you’re never around
A natural disaster in a fabricated town
I love you, California, but you’re
You’re bringing me down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
[Verse 2]
A bitter pill that you never learned to swallow
A site unseen from your new third eye
Your little tricks never got them to follow
It’s not enough to be the pitiful type
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So, take your medicine, your fake adrenaline
The kind of problems you would always dream, you settled in
Stop makin’ promises, you don’t know what honest is
I wanna cover you
[Chorus]
Said, "I love you, California, but you’re bringin’ me down"
You love me, then you hate me, then you’re never around
A natural disaster in a fabricated town
I love you, California, but you’re
You’re bringing me down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
