16 Years

16 years, 16 years
By 16 I carved a canyon of tears
I’m still so young, crystal new
16 years between me and you

My baby he got me a big hotel
Picked away at my dented shell
My lover and I might die in song
Cause his full-time lover’s eight months along

16 candles, 100 fears
By 16 you were a broken spear
In a safe city we fell into the moon
16 years between me and you

Well I’ve been a bad girl, but I’ll write a good song
He said I’m wise, but I think he’s wrong
I’m building a garden
Building a shrine
For a tеmpestuous lover
Who isn’t mine

Will hе tear me apart?
Or do I give my quarted heart?
Will this love come and drown me dark
Or sail me away like Noah’s Ark
Like Noah’s Ark

16 years, 16 years
By 16 I carved a canyon of tears
I’m still so young, crystal new
16 years between me and you
