Want you back and I need you now
Tell me

Feeling
Feeling
'Cause I can't fight this fight much longer, baby

Called you from a burner
I just wanted to confirm it
I just need to know for certain
Just need to say that I tried
Remember every Sunday?
When I'm driving down that one way
Thought I saw you in a Hyundai
Why you always crossing my mind?

Do your back still hurt?
Why you out so late?
Know you work so hard
Know you hate champagne
Is there something I can do?
Just wanna make this easier for you
And you can make this easier for me
Give me a little time and you can see that
I've been
Working
On me
For you baby

Still remember the name of that red wine
Clang, clang
그 달콤했던 공기와 너의 향기가 매일 밤 날
Whip up, whip up
Now I know
What you meant to me
Stop wasting your time we're meant to be
독한 술을 혀끝에
잠에 들기위해 들이부어
네가 원했던 건 보여지는 것보다
내 사랑이었다는 걸

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Berhana's song "I Been" portray someone who is attempting to rekindle a past romantic relationship. The first set of lyrics suggests that the singer has been hoping, praying, waiting, scheming, and dreaming to have their significant other back in their life. As the chorus repeats, the singer is asking the person how they feel about the situation because they cannot continue to fight for their love much longer.


Continuing, the singer transitions into a discussion about their attempts to contact their ex. They mention calling them from a burner phone and asking about the past through a conversation about the car model their partner drove. The following lyrics suggest that the singer wants to know more about their partner's life and to make things easier for them. They mention that they have been working on themselves for their partner and ask for the same in return.


The song's chorus repeats two more times. The final lyrics imply that the singer has been waiting for their partner for a long time and references a red wine that they both knew. However, the song concludes with the same message- the singer cannot continue fighting for their partner much longer, and they need to know how their partner feels.

Yall wanna acknowledge how much work berhana has been putting in the visuals. Each one isnt a still image. Dude has an entire aesthetic for the promotional video, commercial for the music video and his audio bytes have little videos in them. He also has a design for his own airline which sounds cool as shit. Berhana this design you and your team is doing is insane
