Been Down

[Verse 1:] I dreamt you seduced me, just to walk away I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed But then, I woke up feeling nauseous You danced around my head, tell me [Chorus:] How long, how long have I been down? How long, how long have I been down? How long, how long have I been down? Down [Verse 2:] I dreamt you burned my fingers, yes, an automatic sting I dreamt you called me beautiful, then asked to hear me sing I dreamt you sat, invited me to crawl within your space But then, I woke up feeling nauseous Girl, you danced around my face, tell me [Chorus:] How long, how long have you been down? How long, how long have you been down? How long, how long have you been down? Down, down [Bridge:] And why can't we work when we both try? We try, we try, we try, we try And why can't this work, we both try? And why can't it work when we both try? We try, we try, we try, how we try Oh, how we tried [Verse 3:] I meant to sympathize, I meant to be a friend I know apologizing won't erase the end But I learned that moving on is where I must begin 'Cause when our colors mixed, we couldn't fix The way they wouldn't blend, so tell me [Chorus:] How long, how long have we been down? How long, how long have we been down? How long, how long have we been down? Down, down, yeah [Outro] And I wish that only greatness follow you around I hope to God you find a way to keep from down When you do, I hope you share it all with me Please try to understand, yeah, to understand me Just try to understand me, yeah, understand me How long, how long have we been down? Down, down, yeah
