Mackeson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking in your sweet eyes
Baby we we're so high
Making magic in the night
But when i found your secret
I never could keep it
I know That shit ain't too poolite

I never thought we'd end up this way

Now there's something on my mind
That I gotta Say...
Bye bye baby
You're free to roam.
No more maybe maybe
You're on your own
I can't believe you fooled me
Baby you just used me
Now I can't trust myself
So you better know the next one
You better find someone
You better find somebody else
I never knew
We'd end up this way
You better get your feet moving
Bye bye baby
You're Free yo roam
No more maybe
You're on mucho own
You go to
You got to go
Bye bye baby
You got to go
You got to go
Bye bye baby

You're free to roam
No more maybe
You're on your own
Bye bye baby

You're free to roam
No more maybe
You're on your own
Bye bye baby
Bye bye baby
You got to go
Bye bye baby

Bye!

Looking in your sweet eyes
Staring into your eyes filled with love and admiration

Baby we we're so high
We were in a state of euphoria and bliss together

Making magic in the night
Creating unforgettable moments with each other under the stars

When I discovered what you were hiding from me

I never could keep it
I couldn't just ignore it or forget about it

There's something I need to say

That I gotta Say...
That I must say

Goodbye, my love

You're free to roam.
