17 Lyrics by Sophia Gripari

Best for Me

2018

[Verse 1]
The thought of a hit at the end of the night
Oh, it's driving me mad
I take one step forward then I give in and then it's two steps back
Instead I end the night outside lit by a cigarette glow
But you're trying to get out, you want to save yourself
Now I'm burning alone

[Verse 2]
You wouldn't even ever wanna walk a mile in my shoes
Everyone's given a second chance but I'm destined to lose
It's a long road ahead, behind are all the battles I've fought
But I'll finally have more time to think and get addicted to my thoughts

[Chorus]
And my mama, she told me, she said 'listen to the words I say'
She said I drop responsibility like it's loose change
My brother, he told me, to follow my dreams
And I can't because I lost my way when I was only seventeen

[Verse 3]
I'm up every night at 3am, I can't fall asleep
'Cause the fear that I won't come out of this, it hangs over me
And it took some time but I've realized it's not how it seems
'Cause I can't control what flows through my blood because it's in my genes

[Interlude]
Mama she told me
My mama she told me
My mama, my mama she told me

[Chorus]
And my mama, she told me, she said 'listen to the words I say'
She said I drop responsibility like it's loose change
My brother, he told me, to follow my dreams
But I can't because I lost my way when I was only seventeen

[Outro]
Mama she told me
My mama she told me
My mama she told me, when I was only Seventeen
My mama she told me
My mama she told me
My mama she told me
When I was only Seventeen
