Song 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...

[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
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...

[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
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 they wouldn't blend.
So 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
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
