I know that I say I don’t like drama But quiet seems so scary to me When everybody’s gone and the candles are all blown out And it’s just me
I’m thinking about homework that is due tomorrow Dancing all alone at prom And oh that boy that I thought was here to stay I’m thinking about how I yelled at my mama I hope she knows that I’m sorry And why aren’t me and dad on the same page I know that I should really stop and start to learn to call on you first But bear with me, I’m only sixteen
I know that I say I’m ready to get older But it’s scarier than I thought it would be People keep on asking about my future When I just wanna wear sweatpants, eat pizza and ice cream
But I’m thinking about what I’m gonna wear tomorrow Am I cute enough to model? All those girls that I thought would be my friends I’m thinking about how I yelled at my mama I hope she knows that I’m sorry And why aren’t me and dad on the same page I know that I should really stop and start to learn to call on you first But bear with me, I’m only sixteen
I wanna pray and tell you what’s on my heart But I’m kinda scared that I don’t know where to start So all that I can do is talk to you like a friend And ask, if we can start again
‘Cause I don’t wanna wait till tomorrow To tell you all about my sorrows Even when you don’t speak, I know you’ll be listening So I come to you with an open heart Knowing you have open arms And if I fall on to my knees, I know you’re gonna catch me I’m sorry that it took so long for me to learn that I should call you first Bear with me I’m only sixteen
