Song lyrics

[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
Boy 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 5 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 5 years

[Verse 2:]
I'm 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: 2x]
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 5 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 5 years
