Oh yeah Oh yeah 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 (oh yeah) 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 Now I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back, yeah 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 yeah Girl, you really got me bad You really got me bad And now I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back, yeah You say your faith is shaken And you may be mistaken You keep me wide awake and Waiting for the sun I'm desperate and confused So far away from you And 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 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, 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 now I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back (come on) Girl, you really got me bad You really got me bad Now I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back (Girl, you really got me bad) (You really got me bad) (Now I'm gonna get you back) (I'm gonna get you back) (Girl, you really got me bad) (You really got me bad) (Now I'm gonna get you back) (I'm gonna get you back)
