17
There once was a girl
Who tried really hard
Got everything she wanted
Destined to go far
There once was a girl
And that girl was me
Now she's 17
And life's not just a dream
You get looked over
And stomped on
Weight put on your shoulders
But have to carry on
People take your place
And life's not fair
You get so close
And then you fall right down the stairs
Everyone expects you to be perfect
It's a test
But no one appreciates
The mess
You're dreams get crushed
Though you give a hard fight
You are not the best
Alright
No, you are not the best
Alright
There now is a girl
Just one in a crowd
Nothing seems special
Her voice is not loud
There now is a girl
And that girl is me
And I'm 17
And life's not just a dream
Feels like I'm always
Looked over and
Stomped on
Weight is on my shoulders
But I have to carry on
My place has been taken
Life's not fair
Every day I'm aching
From falling down the stairs
Everyone expects me to be perfect
It's a test
But no one appreciates
The mess
My dreams are crushed
Though I gave a hard fight
I am not the best
Alright
No, I am not the best
Aright
If my younger self
Was to see me today
She'd be like what happened?
I've gone after everything
I've wanted in life
But I still can't seem to grab it
Cause I get looked over
And stomped on
Weight put on my shoulders
But I have to carry on
People take my place
And life's not fair
I'll get so close
But then fall right down the stairs
Everyone expects me to be perfect
It's a test
But no one appreciates
The mess
My dreams got crushed
But I gave a hard fight
I am not the best
Alright
No, I am not the best
Alright
Who tried really hard
Got everything she wanted
Destined to go far
There once was a girl
And that girl was me
Now she's 17
And life's not just a dream
You get looked over
And stomped on
Weight put on your shoulders
But have to carry on
People take your place
And life's not fair
You get so close
And then you fall right down the stairs
Everyone expects you to be perfect
It's a test
But no one appreciates
The mess
You're dreams get crushed
Though you give a hard fight
You are not the best
Alright
No, you are not the best
Alright
There now is a girl
Just one in a crowd
Nothing seems special
Her voice is not loud
There now is a girl
And that girl is me
And I'm 17
And life's not just a dream
Feels like I'm always
Looked over and
Stomped on
Weight is on my shoulders
But I have to carry on
My place has been taken
Life's not fair
Every day I'm aching
From falling down the stairs
Everyone expects me to be perfect
It's a test

The mess

But no one appreciates
The mess
My dreams got crushed
But I gave a hard fight
I am not the best
Alright
No, I am not the best
Alright
