Whole Damn Year

[Verse 1]

Tryna find a way to explain this

Why you can't touch me tonight

I can feel you gettin' impatient

But I really can't let you inside

Bad, how deep the pain is

Ooh, you just couldn't believe

And yeah I seem good on the surface

But I'm a mess, I'm a mess underneath

[Refrain]

See, winter took most of my heart

And spring punched me right in the stomach

Summer came lookin' for blood

And by autumn I was left with nothin'

[Chorus]

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 a bad 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

[Verse 2]

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

But the others just wouldn't respect it

Don't tell me you as well

I thought we were headed for Heaven

But you're 'bout to take me back to Hell

[Refrain]

See, winter took most of my heart

And spring punched me right in the stomach

Summer came lookin' for blood

And by autumn I was left with nothin'

[Chorus]

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 a bad 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 a bad 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

[Outro]

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

It's been a bad five years
