16
Should we say it out loud, or hide it inside
I slowly lost count, how time flew right by
People say young and free, you and me
But is it wrong that I feel sad this lately?
So are we pretending this never happened?
All the promises, all for nothing
I've tried anything, everything I could
Maybe you never cared as much as I did
Cuz when you're sixteen, it really isn't hard to make you believe
That someone likes you for the way you are
How could you not lose your heart?
But when you're sixteen, you'll do anything just not to feel lonely
I've told myself a million times that I deserve so much more than you
But why can't I let go of you
Was it all in my mind, this whole damn time?
Everything I thought I read in your eyes
I've tried anything, everything I could
Now I couldn't help but feel like a fool
Cuz when you're sixteen, it really isn't hard to make you believe
That someone likes you for the way you are
How could you not lose your heart?
But when you're sixteen, you'll do anything just not to feel lonely
I've told myself a million times that I deserve so much more than you
But why can't I let go of you
I've tried my hardest, tried to make everything perfect
But it feels like nothing counts
So tell me what went wrong
Cuz when I'm sixteen
I thought it's safe to let myself believe
That someone likes me for the way I am
I thought they would never change
But when I'm sixteen
Letting go stopped sounding very easy
I've told myself a million times that I deserve so much more than you
But why do I keep hoping for you
I slowly lost count, how time flew right by
People say young and free, you and me
But is it wrong that I feel sad this lately?
So are we pretending this never happened?
All the promises, all for nothing
I've tried anything, everything I could
Maybe you never cared as much as I did
Cuz when you're sixteen, it really isn't hard to make you believe
That someone likes you for the way you are
How could you not lose your heart?
But when you're sixteen, you'll do anything just not to feel lonely
I've told myself a million times that I deserve so much more than you
But why can't I let go of you
Was it all in my mind, this whole damn time?
Everything I thought I read in your eyes
I've tried anything, everything I could
Now I couldn't help but feel like a fool
Cuz when you're sixteen, it really isn't hard to make you believe
That someone likes you for the way you are
How could you not lose your heart?
But when you're sixteen, you'll do anything just not to feel lonely
I've told myself a million times that I deserve so much more than you
But why can't I let go of you
I've tried my hardest, tried to make everything perfect
But it feels like nothing counts
So tell me what went wrong
Cuz when I'm sixteen
I thought it's safe to let myself believe
That someone likes me for the way I am
I thought they would never change
But when I'm sixteen
Letting go stopped sounding very easy
I've told myself a million times that I deserve so much more than you
But why do I keep hoping for you
