Beu Sisters I Was Only (seventeen) Lyrics

I Was Only (seventeen) Lyrics

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....
