Been Down lyrics

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

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 you sat, 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 you been down?

How long, how long have you been down?

How long, how long have you been down?

Down, down

Then why can't we work when we both try?

We try, we try, we try, we try

Why can't this work when we both try?

Why can't it work when we both try?

We try, we try, we try

How we've tried

And how we tried

I meant to sympathize

I meant to be a friend

I know apologizing won't erase the end

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

Because when our colors mixed

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

So Tell me

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

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, down, yeah
