I'm tired of always being wrong But I play it cool so nobody else catches on Hours and hours go by You've left me paralyzed And I've been trying to find the words I can't make out I took a plane to California To trick my paranoia To think that I'm just doing fine But how could I feel any better When you're with someone better While I'm in California alone But I don't blame you No, I don't blame you But I don't blame you No, I don't blame you How long until I finally learn That it's not about what you get in return No, no-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh And hours and hours go by Pretend I've just arrived (I've just arrived) And I've been trying to find the words I can't make out I took a plane to California To trick my paranoia To think that I'm just doing fine But how could I feel any better When you're with someone better While I'm in California alone But I don't blame you No, I don't blame you But I don't blame you No, I don't blame you (I don't, I don't) And if I left this place Would I have changed? Wish I could reach you now, I know But maybe I could stay Another day In a California here alone I took a plane to California To trick my paranoia To think that I'm just doing fine (Fine) But how could I feel any better When you're with someone better While I'm in California alone
