Sixteen lyrics

Verse 1
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

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Chorus 2
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

Bridge
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

Chorus 3
‘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
