Seventeen (A Gothic)

Verse 1:
I hope to god you start to realize
Come to terms that you’re not everything
You almost lost a friend
I can’t really comprehend it
I think that I would give in
(I don’t know how you didn't)
I need to take a moment
And realize i was only seventeen

Chorus:
It was a tragedy to me
When I was seventeen
It was a tragedy to me
When I was seventeen

Verse 2:
I’m stuck
With the same incessant hum as you
Is it enough?
To say I tried to stay in bounds of my own frame
I don’t mind it
I find it hard to stay awake
I find time starts to slip away
When you start to break

Chorus:
It was a tragedy to me
When I was seventeen
It was a tragedy to me
When I was seventeen

Bridge:
It’s somewhere between
This dependency or my philosophy
That i’ve really been coping with
It’s something more than I thought I would
Because at twenty-one I find it hard enought to give
I wanna tell my mom I need these chemicals to fix me up
Or enough to help me stand up straight
(But that’s tough)
My friend deals with more than me
So what am I dealing with?

Chorus:
It was a tragedy to me
When I was seventeen
It was a tragedy to me
When I was seventeen
