“When We Were 16” tells a story about a girl who (Rxseboy?) fell in love with that had family issues, but he didn’t notice what she was going through until it was too late. He explains he was too young at the time to understand that everything isn’t what it seems. The girl was going through suicida...
[Chorus: Powfu]
I fell in love when I was sixteen
Met a nice girl, the feelings hit me
Didn't know much, I was too young then
She had a hard time at home and words were unsaid
I fell in love when I was sixteen
Met a nice girl, the feelings hit me
Didn't know much, I was too young then
Wish I helped you out, I could have held your hand
[Verse 1: Rxseboy]
Yeah, everybody told you to leave, get away, girl
Said I'm turning into the person you hate, girl
Started throwing fits, getting up in my face, girl
Then you threw a fist, it was more than a phase, girl
In a place you could never get out of
Inside, you were fighting the outcome
Lot of thoughts that I wish you could outrun
But it all caught up and you're now gone
[Bridge: Powfu]
Why'd you go? I'll hold your hand
Why'd you go? I'll hold your hand
Why'd you go? I'll hold your hand
Stay with me, why'd you leave?
[Chorus: Powfu]
Yeah, I fell in love when I was sixteen
Met a nice girl, the feelings hit me
Didn't know much, I was too young then
She had a hard time at home and words were unsaid
I fell in love when I was sixteen
Met a nice girl, the feelings hit me
Didn't know much, I was too young then
Wish I helped you out, I could have held your—
Damn
[Verse 2: Rxseboy]
I fell in love when I was sixteen
And we always talked about our big dreams
But next thing I knew, she's gone, I'm lonely
Yeah, she took her life to be with the old me
I'm sorry, girl, I'm sorry
Too much pain, getting drunk every party
I've been feeling off like a pause in my heartbeat
Girl, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
[Bridge: Powfu]
Na-na-na-na-na, na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na
Na-na-na-na
[Verse 3: Powfu]
Ayy, yeah, sorry I'm a bag of shit
In front of my eyes, didn't read the script
I didn't get the hints, I didn't see your hurt
Now you up in Heaven and I'm stuck on Earth
I hate your mom for leaving you at home
Only you and your dad with his alcohol
Walk home from school, a new girl in your house
Drugs on the table and your dad on the couch
My girlfriend left and never left me clues
Didn't know this before, now I know from the news
I wish I had the power to go back in time
I would punch your dad and make sure you're fine
I would cut that rope and show you I care
Jeez, I miss your face and that cute green stare
When I close my eyes, I can see you there
In the empty room with a fallen chair
[Outro: Powfu]
Looking back, I was too young
No, I didn't understand
Wish that I could save you now
Ayy, sorry that I can't
I know I'm not to blame
But I know I could've helped
Maybe you wouldn't be gone
If I just asked you how you felt
