Come to Dolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that won't come back to me
So take this sight from me
Too many time that I
Deceived myself on lies
so take these thoughts of mine
you make me feel again
sinking inside again...
stop me looking back
on everything we had
co's you hold me back and.
Take these emotions so I can
fade from what I feel inside
You can't stop me from feeling
in what we are
but to my dreams.
Good bye
So many reasons why
I fall deeper inside
So take this life of mine
You make me feel again
Sinking inside again
(But) you hold me back
Take these emotions so I can
fade from what I feel inside
You can't stop me from feeling
in what we are
but to my dreams
Good bye
GOODBYE!
Take these emotions so I can
fade from what I feel inside
You can't stop me from feeling
in what we are
but to my dreams...
