Dreamy Eyes
Mongooz And The Magnet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels so bad just to sit here and watch you go
You packed your bags, now you're slammin the front door
Couldn't give you my all, and indeed you needed more
I'm a messed up person, you deserve better for sure

But I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
No I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes

I dont wan't to let go... to those dreamy eyes

I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Wasn't there when you needed me most,
You were sitting home thinkin, drinkin, all alone
I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Too damn proud to open my eyes,
Suddenly you're gone and now I realize

It feels so bad just to sit here and watch you show
Now you don't need me like I never needed you before
I guess I knew best, but I don't want this wound to close
It was years of our lives... and what for?

But I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
No I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
No I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes

I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Wasn't there when you needed me most,
You were sitting home thinkin, drinkin, all alone
I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Too damn proud to open my eyes,
Suddenly you're gone and now I realize

(Oooh)
(Oohh)
I don't want to let go...
(Ooh)
(Ohh no)

No I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
No I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes
No I don't want to let go... to those dreamy eyes

I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Wasn't there when you needed me most,
You were sitting home thinkin, drinkin, all alone
I wasn't there for you, wasnt there for you
Too damn proud to open my eyes,
Suddenly you're gone and now I...

I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Wasn't there when you needed me most,
You were sitting home thinkin, drinkin, all alone
I wasn't there for you, wasn't there for you
Too damn proud to open my eyes,
Suddenly you're gone and now I realize

To those dreamy eyes
To those dreamy eyes

To those dreamy eyes
To those dreamy eyes...
