Lyrics Where Have I Been? - Jade Novah

Looked for love in 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
Ayy, ay-ay-ay, mm, mm-mm, mm

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 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
Ayy, ay-ay-ay

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?
Oh, oh-oh-oh, running from me when I needed me
All this time, where have I been all my life? (Where have I been all my life?)
Searching for love from another when I'm just my type
Oh, uh-oh-oh, mm, mm-mm, mm
