sixteen Lyrics

I'm done she said I'm done

With that sadness in her eyes

And her friends they rallied round her

But they couldn't change her mind

I've had enough of this world

There's nothing left for me

So please just let me go

I wanna be at peace

The demons in my mind are winning

These thoughts, my head, it won't stop spinning

I've made up my mind

Please let me go

And I cried baby

You're only sixteen

You've got your life ahead of you

There's so much that you can do

You're worthy

Of a place here in the town

From here there's only up to go

I can't just let you go

You're only sixteen

We sat talking about

How we'd been left behind

Her past her heartbreak

What was on her mind

The cries for help

That had gone unknown

The night's that she cried

She felt alone

I told her she still has so much to give

I told her she still had so long to live

I hugged her so tight

As if she was my own

I cried her told her

She's never alone

And I cried baby

You're only sixteen

You've got your life ahead of you

There's so much that you can do

You're worthy

Of a place here in the town

From here there's only up to go

I can't just let you go

So hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight

You'll never know when they just might

Need somebody to talk to, Someone holding their hand

And tell them there's so much for them that is planned

Promise me, You won't let them go

Lift them up, Dust them off,

Help them stand tall

Help them through it all

And I cried baby

You're only sixteen

You've got your life ahead of you

There's so much that you can do

You're worthy

Of a place here in the town

From here there's only up to go

I can't just let you go

You're only sixteen
