Lyrics
Only 17
(copyright Mario Vickram Sen 2000)
1
Every time that I think of you, it?s a sad memory.
Dreaming ?bout what we could have been, and what you were to me.
By the time I am speaking of you were already gone.
I still thought of you day and night, I kept singing that song.
Chorus:
I was only seventeen. Didn?t know what losing could mean.
Thought the whole world belonged to me, I was only a boy.
2
Didn?t know how to get you back. Didn?t know how to make you stay.
And I guess if I could?ve done, you would never have gone away.
I was guilty and I was innocent, and I couldn?t hold my booze.
Any drunk could?ve told me then, I was destined to lose.
Chorus
Bridge
We were all so much younger then.
We believed everything would change.
And in some ways I suppose it did,
But it?s still mostly the same
Chorus
