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
