Hometown
Heartbreak
You wonder how much you can take
Couldn't fathom what you do
He left you to start anew
The dishes pile up
Even though you haven't been hungry
You wait for the call
To fly out and make money
LA for a week
You live day to day like the rest of us
I see past your concealer
You go back and its mixed love
There's a tenderness you've known
You know it best when its fading
You just wanna feel at home
But there's no escaping
You've gotten used to the names and how mean they can be
They take who you are in scenes too seriously
But there's some things you can't help
You've loved and you've lost and protected yourself
And through it all you've stayed who you began as
And you still will if it doesn't pan out
Looking for that one unbreakable connection
You just want to feel true love
You still believe with every wrong step and misdirection
*Even pornstars fall in love
