Tim Halperin - Hey 17 lyrics

rate me

Hey 17, you've been so unkind to me

Could someone tell me what I did to you?

Late last night, all my thoughts were running wild

Stuck inside this world I didn't choose

And will they even miss me when I'm gone?

Do they even know what's going on?

I was just a kid

I didn't mean to do the things I did

I was just a kid

I wish it didn't have to be like this

So someone tell me why's it gotta be like this?

Hey officer, I swear that I was good to her

So why'd you have to take her from my arms?

When she died I think I did as well inside

I can't rid this guilt that rules my heart

And will they even miss me when I'm gone?

Do they even know what's going on?

I was just a kid

I didn't mean to do the things I did

I was just a kid

I wish it didn't have to be like this

So someone tell me why's it gotta be like this?

I feel the pain in my soul

My spirit's going numb, I been standing in the cold

I'm crumbling slow

I ain’t got no words left for you

Except to tell you that I'm low

But Lord can you heal me of this mess I made?

I confess I'm lame

And I been looking for rest all day

I got this burden on my back and it's heavy

My knees bout to give out, I can't stand steady

But I heard you call all the weak and the weary

I'm crying out now and I'm loud can you hear me?

Hurts here with me and despair's coming near me

Send them away and tell your grace come get me

I'm raining out pain with this pen, and it pours

You became poor, my stains became yours

Slain for proud thieves, took pain to save whores

Fornicators like me, I praise your name Lord, I give it all up

I was just a kid

I didn't mean to do the things I did

I didn’t mean

I was just a kid

I wish it didn't have to be like this

So someone tell me why's it gotta be like this?

Got to be like this
