Tim Halperin, Trip Lee - Hey 17 lyrics

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
I'm stuck inside this world I didn't choose

Will they even miss me when I'm gone?
And do they even know what's goin' on?

I was just a kid
I didn't mean to do the things I did, oh oh
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?
And 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
And do they even know what's going on?

I was just a kid
I didn't mean to do the things I did, oh oh
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 didn't know what I was doin'
Feel that pain in my soul spirit goin' numb
I been standing in the cold 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 late
And I've been looking for rest all day
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 on
The weak and the weary
I'm cryin' out now, and I'm loud
Can you hear me? Hurt is 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, oh oh
(I didn't mean to) 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?

Oh oh, oh heavy like this, ooh
