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, there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh 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, I'm gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how it mixes in with mine, the way it feels to be completely intertwined

It's 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? Your 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, I'm gonna get you back

You say your faith is shaken, you may be mistaken, you keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun

I'm 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, yeah, why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah

I am in misery, there ain't nobody who can comfort me

Why won't you answer me? Your 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, I'm gonna get you back
