Ok, ok alrightI see ya!Tryina find a way to explain thisWhy you can't touch me tonight?I can feel you're getting impatientBut I really can't let you insideBad how deep the pain isOr you just couldn't believeAnd yes, I'm good on the surfacebut I'm a mess, I'm a mess underneathSee winter took the most of my heartThe spring punched right in the stomachSummer came looking for bloodAnd by autumn, I was left with nothing!It took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt took a whole damn yearIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt's been a bad five years!Gonna take long long year for me to trust somebodyGonna take long long yearGonna take long long year for me to touch somebodyIt's been a bad five years!Not tryina do this on purposeBoy I really wish I couldBut act like you never heard thisI know you have this misunderstoodWhen all I just want is to respect meDon't tell me you use wellI thought we were heading for Heavenbut you're about to take me back to HellSee winter took the most of my heartAnd spring punched right in the stomachSummer came looking for bloodAnd by autumn, I was left with nothing!It took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt took a whole damn yearIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt's been a bad five years!Gonna take long long year for me to trust somebodyGonna take long long yearGonna take long long year for me to touch somebodyIt's been a bad five years!It took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt took a whole damn yearIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt's been a bad five years!Gonna take long long year for me to trust somebodyGonna take long long yearGonna take long long year for me to touch somebodyIt's been a bad five years!Bad to the liver, bad to the bonesBad to the liver, bad to the bonesBad to the liver, bad to the bonesIt's been a bad five years!
