But then I guess I was wrong, yeah
My intuition showed me all your lies and I
Donโt know what I was on then
I was thinking, praying, hoping that youโd come around
But youโre saying that youโre busy working all night long
And now it seems weโre running out of timeAnd out of reasons to hold on
And it's breaking my soul
There's no better place I could go
And Iโm all on my own
Yet youโre the only home Iโve ever known, oh, baby boy
Where you've been?
Tell me when youโve been, oh
I really thought you were minะต now, yeah
Where you'vะต been?
Tell me when youโve been, oh
Youโve got no reason to lie now
'Cause Iโm thinking 'bout you and I
Never thought Iโd leave you behind
So tell me where you
Where you've been?
Tell me when youโve been, oh
I really thought you were mine now, yeah
Take me back, two thousand and one
When you didnโt care about nothing but me, yeah, and you lived
A mile away, a call a dayIs all we needed I donโt know what you want now
You keep playing and Iโm thinking that weโre done now
โTill youโre begging and Iโm telling you Iโm gone now, oh
And now it seems youโre running out of time
And out of reasons to hold on
And it's breaking my soul

The lyrics to Nikita Kering's "Where You Been" depict a situation where the singer is realizing that their relationship is not what they thought it was. They express their initial belief that they had something meaningful with the person, but now they realize that they were wrong. The singer's intuition is highlighted, as they recognized the lies and deception that their partner was feeding them. They reflect on the hope they had that the person would come around and prioritize the relationship, but instead, they are constantly told that the person is too busy with work. This leaves the singer feeling like time is slipping away and they are losing reasons to hold on.
The line "And it's breaking my soul, there's no better place I could go" exemplifies the emotional toll that the situation is taking on the singer. They feel broken and lost, yet they still view the person as their only home, indicating a deep emotional attachment. The chorus repeatedly asks the person where they have been, questioning their whereabouts and their reasons for lying. The singer reflects on a time in the past when the person cared deeply about them, but now they feel neglected and left with uncertainty about what the person wants.
