Lirik Lagu Ivy Frank Ocean

I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you love me

The start of nothin'

I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you comin'

The start of nothin'

Ooh, I could hate you now

It's quite alright to hate me now

When we both know that deep down

The feeling still deep down is good

If I could see through walls

I could see you're faking

If you could see my thoughts

You would see our faces

Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then

We didn't give a fuck back then

I ain't a kid no more

We'll never be those kids again

We'd drive to Syd's, had the back seats back then

Back then

No matter what I did

My waves wouldn't dip back then

Everything sucked back then

We were friends

I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me

The start of nothin'

I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you comin'

The start of nothin'

Ooh, I could hate you now

It's quite alright to hate me now

But we both know that deep down

The feeling still deep down is good

In the halls of your hotel

Arm around my shoulder so I could tell

How much I meant to you, meant it sincere back then

We had time to kill back then

You ain't a kid no more

We'll never be those kids again

It's not the same, ivory's illegal

Don't you remember?

I broke your heart last week

You'll probably feel better by the weekend

Still remember, had you going crazy

Screamin' my name

The feeling deep down is good

I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me

The start of nothin'

I had no chance to prepare, couldn't see you comin'

And we started from nothin'

Ooh, I could hate you now

It's alright to hate me now

We both know that deep down

The feeling still deep down is good

All the things I didn't mean to say

I didn't mean to do

There were things you didn't need to say

Did you mean to? Mean to?

I've been dreamin' of you, dreamin' of you

I've been dreamin' of you, dreamin' of you

I've been dreamin', dreamin'
