Look What A Dream Did Lyrics

[Verse]
I've been searching my soul
For so long, so long
I was a coward in the darkness
So long, long gone

[Chorus]
Found a thorn in a bed of roses
No the grass, wasn't always green
Don't you waste a single tear on me
'Cause I still got more than I could ever need
The prettiest eyes that I have ever seen

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did

[Verse 2]
I've been swimming against the tide
My dreams on, the back burner
I was cowering in dark darkness
The scrеams gone
I'm still hurting
[Chorus]
Found a cloud in the silver lining
No, my hands wеren't always clean
Don't you waste a single tear on me
'Cause I still got more than I could ever need
The prettiest eyes that I could ever see

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did
Ooh, look what a dream did
Ooh, look what a dreamer did

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The track, ID’d Silver Lining by fans, was first discovered when it was featured in Carnage’s 2020-documentary called ‘'The Price of Greatness’‘.

Fans of the song have speculated the vocalist to be Simon Aldred (Cherry Ghost). He is probably most known for being the singer on Avicii’s 2015-single ‘'Waiting for Love’‘.

Information on the ID is vastly limited. The things that are certainly known about the song are that Carnage has played it live at least once and that it is co-produced with Avicii as evident from the documentary.

The lyrics featured in this article is not the same as the ones featured in Carnages documentary, rather they are from the leaked version of the song from 2014. That version is called ”Look What a Dreamer Did” and has no involvment from Carnage. The leak does confirm Aldred as the singer.

The ”look what a dreamer did” part of the vocals are not present in the Avicii featuring Carnage version suggesting that the lyrics here is from an early version or from a demo vocal sent to Avicii by Simon Aldred.
