Kshmr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know I loved you for a reason?
Don't you know I loved you not for a season?
It's over, and I'm gone, it's over
Oh oh oh
I can't believe I wasted all that time on you
Oh oh oh
Now I'm seeing islands and a world all without you
It's over, and I'm gone, it's over
Once you know I'm happy, you regret it
Once you know I'm happy, you can't accept this
It's over, and I'm gone, it's over
Oh oh oh
I can't believe I wasted all that time on you
Oh oh oh
And I wanna see islands and a world all without you
Now I'm seeing islands and a world all without you
