Tryna find a way to explain this
|
Why you can't touch me tonight
|
I can feel
|
you're getting impatient
|
But I really can't let you inside
|
Bad how deep the pain is
|
Or you just couldn't believe
|
And yes I'm good on the surface
|
But I'm a mess
|
I'm a mess underneath
|
See winter took most of my heart
|
And Spring punched
|
right in the stomach
|
Summer came looking for blood
|
And by autumn
|
I was left with nothing
|
It took a whole damn year to
|
repair my body
|
It took a whole damn year
|
It took a whole damn year to
|
repair my body
|
It's been about five years
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
for me to trust somebody
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
for me to touch somebody
|
It's been a bad five years
|
Not tryna do this on purpose
|
Boy I really wish I could
|
Don't act like
|
you never heard this
|
I know you haven't misunderstood
|
Where the others just wouldn't
|
respect me
|
Don't tell me you use well
|
I thought we were heading
|
for Heaven
|
But you're about to take me
|
back to Hell
|
See winter took most of my heart
|
And Spring punched
|
right in the stomach
|
Summer came looking for blood
|
And by autumn
|
I was left with nothing
|
It took a whole damn year to
|
repair my body
|
It took a whole damn year
|
It took a whole damn year to
|
repair my body
|
It's been about five years
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
for me to trust somebody
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
for me to touch somebody
|
It's been a bad five years
|
It took a whole damn year to
|
repair my body
|
It took a whole damn year
|
It took a whole damn year to
|
repair my body
|
It's been about five years
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
for me to trust somebody
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
Gon' take a long long year
|
for me to trust somebody
|
It's been a bad five years
|
Bad to the liver bad to the bones
|
Bad to the liver bad to the bones
|
Bad to the liver bad to the bones
|
It's been a bad five years
|
