Dreamer
Fireboy Dml Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left so many words unsaid, have I been lying to myself
Am I only a dreamer
Am I only a dreamer
If you had no plans to be here why did you have to lead me on
I'll take what's left and disappear if that's what you really want
Boba ni oni femi Mio ni mu e si
You left so many words unsaid have I been lying to myself
Am I only a dreamer
Am I only a dreamer
Am I only a dreamer
Oh, am I only a dreamer
You left my messages unread, too busy loving someone else
You left so many words unsaid, have I been lying to myself
