hollywood friends
jesse rutherford
welcome to la. break a leg
at least we could say we tried
maybe you were just too shy
for some hollywood friends like us
in a place where it's hard to trust
anybody with all these flashing lights
and everybody wants to shine
i liked how you were dressed
you said you liked my shit
never knew you were obsessed
rolling with the crew that i like
smoking backwoods all night
guess i got your hopes too high
you would tell me all about the drama with your friends
and i admit i'd ask you some questions
even had your back when people started talking shit
but i couldn't grant every wish
i want you to leave me alone
i'll act like nothing's wrong
at least we could say we tried
maybe you were just too shy
for some hollywood friends like us
in a place where it's hard to trust
anybody with all these flashing lights
and everybody wants to shine
never meant to break your heart
never meant to lead you on
'round here so does everyone
if you're pretty and your mom and dad are famous you might make it
but good luck if you're anywhere near basic
entertainment is a different kind of danger
you might need a lightsaber for those
at least we could say we tried
maybe you were just too shy
for some hollywood friends
in a place where it's hard to trust
anybody with all these flashing lights
and everybody wants to shine
