Only Seventeen

I don't wanna get my heart broke
Opening up and gettin too close
Wish I wasn't so defensive
Try to hide what I've been through
Easy to float like a ghost through
these hollow halls full of strangers
Faces I don't know

I remember feeling empty
It's better to be safe than sorry
Not everybody's gets to get that close

It isn't personal
When I get comfortable
I'll tell you everything about me
that you didn't know you wanted to hear
I don't wanna be alone and guarded
Writing my songs on a broken heart
It's too soon to be
I'm only seventeen

I don't talk for attention
I keep a lot of me hidden
It hasn't been easy to say
That being like this is OK

I remember feeling empty
It's better to be safe than sorry
Not everybody's gets to get that close

It isn't personal
When I get comfortable
I'll tell you everything about me
that you didn't know you wanted to hear
I don't want to be alone and guarded
Writing my songs on a broken heart
It's too soon to be
I'm only seventeen

The older that I get
The less I have to try
To figure out who's on my team or on the other side
The thought of getting hurt
It really makes me nervous
So

It isn't personal
When I get comfortable
I'll tell you everything about me
that you didn't know you wanted to hear
I don't want to be alone and guarded
Writing my songs on a broken heart
It's too soon to be
I'm only seventeen
Cause it's too soon to be
I'm only seventeen
