Too Poor to Live in LA Lyrics by Delacey

Black Coffee

2020

[Verse 1]
The sad "Goodbyes" and the cheap "Hellos"
Feel like a lie, when I'm alone
And I saw my soul, sitting on your couch
And I'm only home, at my mother's house

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just too poor to live in LA, yeah
There's no angels here like they say, yeah
I lost some dreams and love always ends
And now I'm at a party with my fake ass friends
And maybe I'm just too poor to live in LA, yeah
So why do I stay?

[Verse 2]
You can hold me up, like I'm free
And I'll take a bow, when you're done with me
And now you're gonna act like my biggest fan
And you wanna be a part of it if you can
But where the fuck were you when I was nobody?
And there was nothing I could do that would make you money
Isn't that funny?

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just too poor to live in LA, yeah
There's no angels here like they say, yeah
I lost some dreams and love always ends
And now I'm at a party with my fake ass friends
And maybe I'm just too poor to live in LA, yeah
So why do I stay?

[Post-Chorus]
Why do I stay, why do I stay?
When it's killing me
Why do I stay, why do I stay?
In LA-A, in LA

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just too poor to live in LA
There's no angels here like they say
Oh, oh, I lost some dreams and love always ends
And now I'm at a party with my fake ass friends
And maybe I'm just too poor to live in LA, yeah
So why do I stay?
