Faded Dreams Lyrics

[Hook: L-Soul]
Growing up we lose purity
Age is not emotional immunity
Love will save us from our pain
Love is fragile like cells in the brain
And I'll keep fighting, till I made it
Then we'll bring back, the dreams that have faded
Growing up we lose purity
Age is not emotional immunity
Love will save us from our pain
Love is fragile like cells in the brain
And I'll keep fighting, till I made it
Then we'll bring back, the dreams that have faded

[Verse 2: Scoob]
Feels like yesterday, clearly I can reminisce
A partial time where all intention and energy spent

Around that timing I was hardly considered a gent
Some people took a look and asked where my class went
It's not even a school trip, didn't happen quick
How did I change to "Mr. love you" from Best of the Slick?

We get together it's official the month of the sixth
So damn inseparable our bond had a magnetic stick
It was perfect we deserved it looking at our past
Some others saw it but to me we were not moving fast
The way I felt, I told myself "man it was meant to last"
Not did I once believe her age and my fam would clash
Grams disapproved, so confused all through the summer
She said our love can bring a felony, now that's a bummer
But see my heart keeps telling me it's nothing but a number
Only a couple years, "who the hell would really wonder?"
She keeps on lecturing, it's through one ear and out the other

I will not take it so I leave, seeking baby's cover
Nana's persistent so she visits her grams and her mother
Tells em both that her daughters or grandchild's love em
They said they know the scene, she said "but he's eighteen"
She says so now it's time for ya'll to do the right thing

Fuck a status now the moral is "I used my heart"
To make sure not even family could tear us apart

How to Format Lyrics:
