Where Have You Been
Self Made Davion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where
Where have you been
You were not down
You weren't around like
I
I been around
Showed you I was down
Now I hit the ground like
Why
Where have you been
You were not down
You weren't around like
I
I been around
Showed you I was down
Now I hit the ground like
Why
Do you know what you did to me
Everything we did together now that shit is history
Talking to you baby like me and you had some chemistry
You just lied to me to my face all that energy was fake
I should've knew that that shit wasn't real
I thought I really had a true feel for you
Before you fucked shit up
Now I'm trapped inside my bottle
Got me in a spiral
Where
Where have you been
You were not down
You weren't around like
I
I been around
Showed you I was down
Now I hit the ground like
Why
Where have you been
You were not down
You weren't around like
I
I been around
Showed you I was down
Now I hit the ground like
Why
Where have you been
You were not down
You weren't around like
I
I been around
Showed you I was down




Now I hit the ground like
Why
