So scared of breaking it
That you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much
Deeper than they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them bleed
So let me be and I'll set you free
I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me
The silence is slowly killing me (oh)
Girl, you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how it
Mixes in with mine
The way it feels
To be completely intertwined
Not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel
It's what I didn't show
So let me be and I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me (oh)
Girl, you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake
And waiting for the sun
Desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting there I don't care
Where I have to run
Why do you do what you do to me
Why won't you answer me, answer me
Why do you do what you do to me
Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah
I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, yeah
Why won't you answer me
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back, yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back, yeah
