Jessie Reyez - **BEEN ABOUTA YEAR** [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
One, two, and three

[Verse 1]
Been about a year since I had a drink
Been about a 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 about a year since I had a drink
But everything I wanted's 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how come it never goes
The way that you fucking planned it? Yeah
Like I'm slow, like I'm a fucking joke
Like God's somewhere up thеre laughing

[Chorus]
Well, wherе's my baby? Where's my diamonds?
Where's the famous silver linin' I was promised?
To be honest, life is falling kinda short
Where's my baby? Where's my diamonds?
Where's the famous silver linin' I was promised?
To be honest, life is falling kinda short

[Post-Chorus]
From what I was sold, yeah
From what I was told
I got fool's gold
The future ain't nothing but some fool's gold

[Verse 2]
Been about a year since I had a drink
But mushrooms 'gwan 'cause I'm California sober
Lost love again, I think I got a kink
For anyone available who wants to fuck me over
Been about a year since I had a drink
Bought a crib in LA 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how come it never goes
The way that you fucking planned it? Yeah
Like I'm slow, like it's a fucking joke
Like God's somewhere up there laughing, yeah

[Chorus]
Well, where's my baby? Where's my diamonds?
Where's the famous silver linin' I was promised?
To be honest, life is falling kinda short
Where's my baby? Where's the diamonds?
Where's the famous silver linin' I was promised?
To be honest, life is falling kinda short

[Post-Chorus]
From what I was sold, yeah
From what I was told
I got fool's gold
Future ain't nothing but some fool's gold, yeah
