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 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 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 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 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 I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back You say your faith is shaken And you may be mistaken To 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? 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? The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah) Girl you really got me bad You really got me bad I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back
