lyrics

I feel alone, so cold and alone
No one here beside me to lend a hand
And you don’t understand who I am
I feel so empty gotta fill it with
Well you don’t know my name
You just turn away

16, it’s still so young
But I feel much older than that
16, it’s old enough to know better
Still too young to care at all
Cause I gotta feel something different
Than what I feel right now

He holds me close, makes me feel different
With each embrace I feel more than before
I gotta go deeper, deeper, deeper than before
It’s the only thing that makes me feel alive
And anymore it don’t matter who it is

16, it’s still so young
But I feel much older than that
16, it’s old enough to know better
Still too young to care at all
Cause I gotta feel something different
Than what I feel right now

You don’t think I see the way that you stare
And you don’t think I know the things you say about me
But at least I have a name, at least you see me here
Maybe it isn’t good but it’s all I have right now
Maybe I wanted more but it’s all that’s left of me

You’ll never understand who I am
No, you’ll never, you’ll never understand
No, You’ll never understand who I am
No, you’ll never, you’ll never understand
I am so young only 16
I’m 16, I’m 16
And I got to feel something different
Then what I feel right now
