I Was Only Seventeen lyrics

~I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen, I told you that it didn`t mean a thing

Feels like a million years ago.
Small town where everybody knows everything about everybody else.
Way back when there wasn`t you and me,
I guess I was still naive and the moment was as far as I could see

~I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen, I told you that it didn`t mean a thing.
Why can`t you just love me please don`t push too hard.
The truth you think you`re after might just break your heart.

Someone who I thought was my friend but sometimes people just pretend,
and I would never be the same again.

~I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen, I told you that it didn`t mean a thing.
Why can`t you just love me please don`t push too hard.
The truth you think you`re after might just break your heart.

I`m sure there`s things you`d rather keep inside,
i won`t ask you `bout all the things you`ve tried
Don`t let yesterday get in the way why can`t we just start from where we are

~I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen, I told you that it didn`t mean a thing.
Why can`t you just love me please don`t push too hard.
The truth you think you`re after might just break my heart.
