Been Down

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 the I woke up feel nauseous

You danced around my head

Tell me

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

Down

I dreamt you burned my fingers

Yes, an automatic sting

I dreamt you called me beautiful then asked to hear me sing

I dreamt your scent invited me to crawl within your space

But then I woke up feeling nauseous

Girl, you danced around my face

Tell me

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

Down

Why can't we work, when we both try

We try, we try, we try, we try

Why can't this work, when we've both tried

Why can't it work, when we both try

We try, we try, we try

God how we've tried

And how we tried

I mean to sympathize

I mean to be a friend

I know apologizing won't erase the end

But I've learned that moving on is where I must begin

Cause when our colors mixed

We couldn't fix the way the wouldn't blend

So tell me

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

Down

And I wish that only greatness follow you around

I hope to God you find a way to keep from down

And 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
