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 are things you would rather keep inside
I won`t ask you about 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
