California
And yet you still keep me up at night
Only I no longer cry
I rest my eyes as if you were holding me tight
I can hear your name in the summer breeze
All the pain within those memories
You said love was gone and I should walk away

Babygirl grew up before your eyes
Wasn't what you expected
Wanted to keep her
So you kept feeding her lies
Making her earth quake in between her thighs
Flash forward she broken inside
Eyes seen thru the bs
Looking right past your lies
Face in her hands she couldn't believe
All that she knew and all that she seen
Her fantasy
Now just a broken
