Hey 17 Lyrics by Tim Halperin

Heart Tells Your Head

0

[Verse 1: Tim Halperin]
Hey 17, you've been so unkind to me
Could someone tell me what I did to you?
Late last night, all my thoughts were running wild
I'm stuck inside this world I didn't choose

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Halperin]
Will they even miss me when I'm gone?
And do they even know what's goin' on?

[Chorus: Tim Halperin]
I was just a kid
I didn't mean to do the things I did, oh-oh
I was just a kid
I wish it didn't have to be like this
So someone tell me, why's it gotta be like this?

[Verse 2: Tim Halperin]
Hey officer, I swear that I was good to her
So why'd you have to take her from my arms?
And when she died, I think i did as well inside
I can't rid this guilt that rules my heart

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Halperin]
And will they even miss me when i'm gone
And do they even know what's going on?

[Chorus: Tim Halperin]
I was just a kid
I didn't mean to do the things I did, oh-oh
I was just a kid
I wish it didn't have to be like this
So someone tell me, why's it gotta be like this?

[Verse 3: Trip Lee]
I didn't know what I was doin'
Feel that pain in my soul
Spirit goin' numb
I been standing in the cold
Crumbling slow
I ain't got no words left for you
Except to tell you that I'm low
But Lord, can you heal me of this mess I made?
I confess I'm late
And I've been looking for rest all day
Got this burden on my back, and it's heavy
My knees 'bout to give out
I can't stand steady
But I heard you call on the weak and the weary
I'm cryin' out now, and I'm loud, can you hear me?
Hurt is here with me and despair's coming near me
Send them away and tell your grace come get me
I'm raining out pain with this pen, and it pours
You became poor, my stains became yours
Slain for proud thieves, took pain to save whores
Fornicators like me, I praise your name Lord, I give it all up

[Chorus: Tim Halperin & (Trip Lee)]
I was just a kid
I didn't mean to do the things I did, oh-oh (I didn't mean to)
I was just a kid
I wish it didn't have to be like this
So someone tell me, why's it gotta be like this?

[Outro: Tim Halperin]
Oh-oh, oh
Heavy like this, ooh
