BEEN ABOUTA YEAR Lyrics – Jessie Reyez
1-2-3
Been abouta year since I had a drink
Been abouta year since I talked to my brother
Lost love again, I think I’m on the brink
But the irony is getting everything else that you wanted
Been abouta year since I had a drink
But everything I want is at the bottom of a bottle
Wish I was dumb and I wouldn’t overthink
And I wish I was nice and more like my mother
Oh, how come it never goes
The way that you *** planned it? (No)
Like I’m slow
Like I’m a *** joke
Like God’s somewhere up there laughing
Well where’s my baby?
Where’s my diamonds?
Where’s the famous silver lining I was promised?
To be honest
Life is falling kinda short
Where’s my baby?
Where’s my diamonds?
Where’s the famous silver lining I was promised?
To be honest
Life is falling kinda short
From what was I was sold
From what I was told
I got fool’s gold
The future ain’t nothing but some fool’s gold
Been abouta year since I had a drink
But mushrooms ‘gwan cause I’m California sober
Lost love again, I think I got a ***
For anyone available who wants to *** me over
Been abouta year since I had a drink
Bought a crib in L.A. but I’m only getting colder
Wish I was dumb and I wouldn’t overthink
But it’s only getting worse and I’m only getting older
Oh, how come it never goes
The way that you *** planned it?
Like I’m slow
Like it’s a *** joke
Like God’s somewhere up there laughing
Well where’s my baby?
Where’s my diamonds?
Where’s the famous silver lining?
I was promised
To be honest
Life is falling kinda short
Where’s my baby?
Where’s the diamonds?
Where’s the famous silver lining?
I was promised
To be honest
Life is falling kinda short
From what was I was sold (Yeah)
From what I was told
I got fool’s gold
The future ain’t nothing but some fool’s gold
