Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You always said I'd lose my mind
Living in this world of mine
Now that you're gone, it's hard to tell
What's even real, so I tell myself
[PreChorus]
I'll be alright, I'll be okay
If I just see it some other way
[Chorus]
This ain't no hurt I'm feeling
It's just the whiskey ain't kicked in
That ain't your name I'm screaming
It's just the howling of the wind
[Chorus]
These ain't no tears I'm crying
No, it's just some temporary rain
This ain't my world that's shaking, babe
It's just a California quake
[Verse 2]
It's all smoky mirrors I'm staring in
And my half-empty glass is full again
And if you heard any differently
I'm over you getting over me
[PreChorus]
Yeah, I'm alright, that's how it goes
If you woulda stuck around, you'd know
[Chorus]
This ain't no hurt I'm feeling
It's just the whiskey ain't kicked in
That ain't your name I'm screaming
It's just the howling of the wind
[Chorus]
These ain't no tears I'm crying
No, it's just some temporary rain
This ain't my world that's shaking, babe
It's just a California quake
[Outro]
These ain't no tears I'm crying
No, it's just some temporary rain
This ain't my world that's shaking, babe
It's just a California quake
Mmm, mmm
California quake
