lyrics

16

I've worn your love
under my sleeve
in my skin,

a tattoo of
a girl who wants
to sing again

To let it be,
you can't be free
so I'll just be

a heart-shaped box
made to hold
your memories

The knife that cuts the ties that bind us has two sides
But what I see I'm looking at through your blue eyes
And I believed what came too early had to die
When I was 16

I look for you
on crowded streets,
in ticket lines

Everything and
nothing has changed
with time

When he kissed me
were your lips
the ones I kissed

When he left me
were you the one
I really missed

If I awoke from a dream and found you there
I wonder if, to yourself, you could compare
About these worries as sure as stone I didn't care
When I was 16
