16 Lyrics by John Lawes

16

2021

Was the start of ‘19, I was feeling your vibe
I was new to this, you’d had a couple of tries
I knew I wanted you then, I wasn’t ready for ya
Knew I wanted you then, I wasn’t ready for ya
Took a trip down memory lane
Now I can’t stop singing her name
That party was pretty lame
She’s the only one that I came for, yeah
Too bad I ended up wanting more

But the other night I woke up
With a cold sweat and tear stained eyes
I woke up, but then I realized

That I was just 16
I didn’t love you
I’m sorry that I lied to you
I was just 16
So were you
You weren’t what I needed I blame it on youth
But I didn’t love you love you love you love you
I thought I did
But I didn’t love you love you love you love you

You did nothing wrong it was my mind
Listening to my devil all the time
I didn’t care about how you’d feel
Now in the aftermath it’s real
Now that you’re gone I’m sorry
I’m sorry I’m sorry

That I was just 16
I didn’t love you
I’m sorry that I lied to you
But I was just 16
So were you
You weren’t what I needed I blame it on youth
But I didn’t love you love you love you love you
I thought I did
But I didn’t love you love you love you love you

The lesson of the story is
I shouldn’t of let you go when things got hard
When things got hard
And the moral of the story goes
I shouldn’t try to love somebody if I don’t know how to love myself

I was just 16
I didn’t love you
I’m sorry that I lied to you
But I was just 16
So were you
You weren’t what I needed I blame it on youth
But I didn’t love you love you love you love you
I thought I did
But I didn’t love you love you love you love you

But I was just 16
I was just 16
I was just 16
I was just 16
I was just 16
