Where Have I Been?

Looked for love in all the wrong places

Tried to fill my heart in empty spaces

What a waste of time

Gave my all to those who don't deserve it

Almost messed around and lost my purpose

But I didn't know back then what I know now

I was afraid of being lonely

Look at me now, damn, I miss the old me

I wish somebody would've told me

Now I just wanna hold me, and ask myself

Where have I been all my life?

Running from me when I needed me all this time

Where have I been all my life?

Searching for love from another when I'm just my type

Yeah, yeah

Going around in circles

Trying to prove to everyone else

Why I need love, and I'm worth it

I didn't realize just who I was

Didn't know that I was more than enough

Made to believe I didn't have the power

Could've been sweet but I chose the sour

And finally I'm giving all of me my flowers

I've afraid of being lonely

Look at me now, damn, I miss the old me

I wish somebody would've told me

Now I just wanna hold me, and ask myself

Where have I been all my life?

Running from me when I needed me all this time

Where have I been all my life?

Searching for love from another when I'm just my type

Aye, yeah

Making up for the time I lost right now

Giving me the world just 'cause I deserve putting on my crown

Tapping into all my power now, and I know how

I'm saving my greatness where I'm appreciated

Where have I been all my life?

Running from me when I needed me all this time

Where have I been all my life?

Searching for love from another when I'm just my type
