[Intro]
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
[Verse 1]
Ain't gonna lie
This place would bring me down without you by my side
Feeling the weight, I guess I'm unchained
Oh, God, you're peeling me away
[Chorus]
You say Hollywood, I say "don't go"
You say "I've gotta leave," I say "please, don't"
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I feel deadweight on the line [?]
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
[Verse 2]
Drive in the dark
When heart-shaped hands break before they slip away
Could you tell me the place where I came unchained?
Oh, God, have I got to watch you leave again?
[Chorus]
You say Hollywood, I say "don't go"
You say "I've gotta leave," I say "please, don't"
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
Yeah, I feel deadweight on the line [?]
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
[Bridge]
You say Hollywood, I say "don't go"
You say "love again," I say "who knows?"
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I know I've been [?]
[Chorus]
You say Hollywood, I say "don't go"
You say "I've gotta leave," I say "please, don't"
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
Yeah, I feel deadweight on the line [?]
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe
I ain't gonna lie to you, babe

He told Variance:
There’s a particularly bitter stage in the decay of a relationship when your partner’s ambitions can become directly threatening to you. Perhaps they mention somewhere else they’d like to live and all you hear is that they want a change. Perhaps they start learning a new language...
