I Was Only (seventeen) Lyrics - Decisions - Beu Sisters

I was only tryin to keep the wall 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 

(Chorus) 

I was only tryin to keep the wall 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 will never be the same again 

(Chorus) 

I was only tryin to keep the wall 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 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? 

(Chorus) 

I was only tryin to keep the wall 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....
