Sixteen

I'm struggling lately with all kinds of 9-to-5s
With the daily replay of someone else's life
But my heart is still ticking, my ears are still listening
My eyes they have water in the works

So here's a postcard in case you do miss me
I'm doing fine
Take my money, my dreams and my future I'll be alright

Right now I live my teenage dream
So far so good, well, so far so good
Sad to say I'm not sixteen anymore

I'm dying inside cause of the shit that you talk
Of laughter of course. You're so ridiculous
I once thought that I want this
Now I know it's hopeless
Textbook was never my style

So here's a postcard in case you do miss me
I will be fine
Keep my money, my dreams and my future

I'll be alright
Right now I live my teenage dream
So far so good, well, so far so good
Sad to say I'm not sixteen anymore

And I know I can't live in the past tense
So far so good, so far so good
Glad to say I'm not sixteen anymore
It's all just made up in my mind
No, it's not real, no it's just lies (life)
But you won't get me, not this time
Back to the drawing board, I'm fine

My money stayed in Hamburg
My dream died in Berlin
My heart died here somewhere
Took my mind with it
Now I know that it's
All just my fault I never learned to
Just say no
