Tinted Eyes
DVBBS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep me in your prayers
Got me runnin' scared
You turn me into someone I don't wanna be
But I don't even care though
I'm dead and unaware though
I only feel alive when you hurt me

Spend whatever on you
Spend a minute on you
I know I'm gonna lose
I do it anyway
There's a killer in you
And it's killing me too
I know I'm gonna lose
I do it anyway

Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
This don't feel right, I should know better
Just like a sin, those tinted eyes
Hold your disguise, I should know better

Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes

Yeah
All I want is how I found ya
No need to change while you feel the pressure
Uh, all the nights, all nostalgia
I'll need something strong to get me through forever (yeah, yeah)

Like a potion
Bottled up emotions
Back and forth and up and down
Just going through the motions
I'm just hoping
You don't leave me broken
'Round and 'round, we lost and found
The meaning of devotion

You say that you think this could last forever
I can't (I can't) lie to you to make it better
You say we'll make it through the stormy weather
But I told ya, I told ya, I told ya

Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
This don't feel right, I should know better
Just like a sin, those tinted eyes
Hold your disguise, I should know better

Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes

Ooh
Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes
Ooh




Ooh
Don't tempt me with those tinted eyes

[Verse 1: blackbear]
Keep me in your prayers, got me running scared
You turned me into someone I don't wanna be
But I don't even care, though, I'm dead and unaware, though
I only feel alive when you hurt me
Spend whatever on you, spend a minute on you
I know I'm gonna lose, I do it anyway
There's a killer in you, and it's killing me too
I know I'm gonna lose, I do it anyway

Just going through the motions (Motions)
I'm just hopin' you don't leave me broken

Round and round, we lost and found
The meaning of devotion (Devotion)
[Bridge: 24kGoldn]
Insane that you think this could last forever
