If Only I Would've Stayed

On the streets of L.A.

Wandering from place to place

Noisy cars

Flashing lights 

A mouse in the city of L.A.

If only I would've stayed

If only I would've stayed

I'm turning blue

My stomach is crying

I'm an abandoned pup

There's no way to survive

If only I would've stayed

Stayed in that dysfunctional household

Full of violence and hatred 

Aiming guns at each other

 Forgetting that blood is thicker than water

If only I would've stayed 

Stayed and watch them prey like lions

Hunting each other like vultures

Forgetting that we share the same DNA

Being corrupted and man-eating beasts

Losing their sanity

If only I would've stayed

But I didn't 

I don’t regret my decision

They made my nightmares come true 

They made everything turn from blue to black

They're hearts are hardened 

They're spirits are evil

I had to leave

On the streets of L.A. 

With only a dollar in my pocket

Looking for someone to spare some change

Someone with a heart who'll take care of me 

Someone who's loving 

With a heart of gold

Who wouldn't hurt a fly

Someone who is better than my family

On the streets of L.A.

I'll walk this path alone

Like a bird who's lost his flock

I'll soar until I find my home

Like wounded soldier 

I'll fight this fight

No matter what I won't give up
