Omen
Shelly Sony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you left, my picture changed
I was blinded, I'd not envisioned
The same face in a different frame
It's an omen, caught my baby crying
Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears are an omen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Omen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Omen
You were waiting, I was vacant
You left before my eyes, then it hit me
You're relocating and I need you by my side
It's an omen, caught my baby crying
Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely
My mind would rule my heart,
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart,
But now I see your tears are an omen
My mind would rule my heart,
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart,
But now I see your tears are an omen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Omen
(Woah, now love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Omen
(I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Omen
(But now I see your tears are an omen)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Omen
(Now I see your tears are an omen)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
