Tryna find a way to explain this
Why you can't touch me tonight
I can feel you're gettin' impatient
But I really can't let y inside
That how deep the pain is
Oh, 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 lookin' for blood
And by autumn I was left with nothin'

It took a whole damn year to repair my body
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 long long year...
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
It's been a bad 5 years

Not tryna do this on purpose
Boy I really wish I could
Don't act like you've neva heard this
I know you haven't misunderstood
But be honest, just couldn't respect it
Don't tell me you was well
I thought we were headin' fo' heaven
But you're bout to take me back to hell!

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