What does it mean when you?e sixteen
|
The world? a cold and lonely place
|
But you?e still kicking
|
Every door down in the place
|
|
The war of words they?e so upright
|
You pass a hundred sleepless nights
|
And the worst is yet to come or so they say
|
|
Here comes seventeen
|
And just beyond
|
There? tolerance and empathy
|
To protect you from them all
|
A stand of evergreen
|
Just like the places we would always talk about
|
To catch you when you fall
|
|
You hear a knock outside the door
|
It never rains here anymore
|
So now there? nothing new
|
To was away the pain
|
|
A frightened face your clouded mind
|
The memories you?e trailed behind
|
And seventeen still feels light years away
|
|
Nobody seems to understand you
|
As your grasping for that innocence
|
Sequestered in your mind
|
|
Was it guilt or were they blind
|
All this time
|
