Seventeen

I do not know what to write
They tell me write about my life
But I’m not experienced enough
They say my words don’t measure up
So what do they want me to do
Don’t you release anything ‘till it’s perfect
But Mozart was never a perfect man
But the story I’m telling is gonna be worth it
And I’m gonna do the best that I can

So much is expected from me
But you never walked in my shoes
I’m struggling to be creative
And how you respond I don’t gеt to choose

So just be patient with mе
As I’m trying to figure it out
I am only seventeen
And look where I am right now
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would

Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would

I am not where I should be
But I am quite far from where I could be
But they keep on pushing me down
While they’ve got their heads in the clouds
Well I’ll prove ‘em wrong just wait and see

So much is expected from me
But you never walked in my shoes
I’m struggling to be creative
And how you respond I don’t get to choose

So just be patient with me
As I’m trying to figure it out
I am only seventeen
And look where I am right now
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would

Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would

Please be please be patient with me
Be patient patient with me

Please be please be patient with me
Be patient patient with me

So just be patient with me
As I’m trying to figure it out
I am only seventeen
And look where I am right now
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would

Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would

Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would

I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would
