17

Lyrics

you asked me to be honest, well you're tempting fate, how i left a promise but it's one i can't make, lord knows it'd kill me if you walked away, but darling, my lies, they hide you from the pain, stay, let me explain why i act so mean, don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems, i'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave, my heart will break like i'm 17, you're not the first one to leave me and you won't be the last, it just doesn't heave me like it did in the past, i will never be seen to act like you act, to take someone easy and leave it at that, stay, let me explain why i act so mean, don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems, i'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave, my heart will break like i'm 17, break like i'm 17, i say less than i should, i say more than i mean, i would try if i could, but i'm all i can be, if i had more i would change the cover, you see, i have walls that have stood before you ever loved me, before you ever loved me, stay, let me explain why i act so mean, don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems, i'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave, my heart will break, stay let me explain why i act so mean, don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems, i'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave, my heart will break like i'm 17, break like i'm 17, break like i'm 17
