Dreamin'
IDRYS BLCK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that I was dreaming, when you said you loved me
You don′t even want me
I swear I seen it coming
You always needed something
I needed something different
I need a different feelin'
Not something that you′ve shown me
I just need someone
Need someone to love me
When I need someone to come over and fuck me
Now it's over
She's a distant lover
You just needed time
And I just needed mine
I thought that I was dreaming, when you said you loved me
What happened to that girl
When you said you want me
I just need that back girl
When you said you loved me

Tell me what you on
Girl, tell me where you been, why you gone
I admit to all the things I did wrong
Girl, you don′t sound the same, it′s been long
While you get high, I've been low
I know I can′t let shit go
I can't trust shit, you say so
I can′t say shit, you're fragile
I went the extra miles
That shit so fucked up
I only gave love
You only gave up
You don′t ever say much
I'm sure that you and my demons just come from the same cut




And I know you got some
Nobody has none, everyone has one
