1
(Verse)
2
Tryna find a way to explain this
3
Why you can't touch me tonight
4
I can feel you're gettin' impatient
5
But I really can't let y inside
6
That how deep the pain is
7
Oh, you just couldn't believe
8
And yes, I'm good on the surface
9
But I'm a mess, I'm a mess underneath
10
(Pre-Chorus)
11
See winter took most of my heart
12
And Spring punched right in the stomach
13
Summer came lookin' for blood
14
And by autumn I was left with nothin'
15
(Chorus)
16
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
17
Took a whole damn year...
18
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
19
It's been about five years...
20
Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody
21
Gon' take long long year...
22
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
23
It's been a bad 5 years...
24
(Verse 2)
25
Not tryna do this on purpose
26
Boy I really wish I could
27
Don't act like you've neva heard this
28
I know you haven't misunderstood
29
But be honest, just couldn't respect it
30
Don't tell me you was well
31
I thought we were headin' fo' Heaven
32
But you're bout to take me back to Hell!
33
(Pre-Chorus)
34
See winter took most of my heart
35
And Spring punched right in the stomach
36
Summer came lookin' for blood
37
And by autumn I was left with nothin'
38
(Chorus)
39
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
40
Took a whole damn year...
41
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
42
It's been about five years...
43
Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody
44
Gon' take long long year...
45
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
46
It's been a bad 5 years...
47
(Bridge)
48
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
49
It took a whole damn year
50
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
51
Been a bad 5 years
52
Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody
53
Gon' take long long year
54
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
55
It's been a bad 5 years

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone
59
Bad to the liver, bad to the bone
60
Been a bad 5 years
