Seventeen

The ground is freezing me as I sit in your front yard
I guess there's no pleasing you
I'm tired from all the thought it took me to get here
but I don't sleep, I think of You
Tell me that you've had enough
tell me that I am wrong just like you always do

Will that ever be enough for me?
wanting this to be real when I know its make believe
But still we know the time we spent chasing dreams means more when you're seventeen

The lights are blinding me as I look over your town
I guess there's no fooling you
I'm tired from all the time that I have spent here
but I don't sleep, I think of You
tell me that you are sorry
tell me that I am wrong and that I should be sorry too

Will that ever be enough for me?
wanting this to be real when I know its make believe
But still we know the time we spent chasing dreams means more when you're seventeen

All these words are killing me
spent my life wasting breaths on dreams and wishing
But I know that its never more real and you'll never be happy
when you're alone and seventeen
alone at seventeen
my heart has always been seventeen
