I Was Only lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics I Was Only (Seventeen) lyrics I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in I was only waiting round for something to begin I was only seventeen I told you that it didn t mean a thing Feels like a million years ago Small town where everybody knows Everything about everybody else Way back when there wasn t you and me I guess I was still naive And the moment was as far as I could see I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in I was only waiting round for something to begin I was only seventeen I told you that it didn t mean a thing Why can t you just love me Please don t push too hard The truth you think you re after Might just break your heart Someone who I thought was my friend But sometimes people just pretend And I would never be the same again I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in I was only waiting round for something to begin I was only seventeen I told you that it didn t mean a thing Why can t you just love me Please don t push too hard The truth you think you re after Might just break your heart I m sure there are things you would rather keep inside I won t ask you about all the things you ve tried Don t let yesterday get in the way Why can t we just start from where we are I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in I was only waiting round for something to begin I was only seventeen I told you that it didn t mean a thing Why can t you just love me Please don t push too hard The truth you think you re after Might just break my heart song lyrics
