Alexander Harvey - 17 Lyrics

Hey there blue eyes wipe your tears away
You already know the words that I'm about to say
I know it's hard to listen when you're crying every day
But you gotta try to live
I see that you're just trying to grow older fast
Trying to put time between the demons in your past
But no amount of years will heal the scars that they cast
Unless you try to live

Oh your heart is built to last
Even though it's made of glass
It's okay to break it
And every night when you can't sleep
Remember you don't have to dream to see the reason why you haven't quit

Nobody will ever understand what's in your head
But that's okay cause you are more than all the words you've said
Stop trying to explain yourself just focus instead
On trying to live

Your friends are to be loved and loving is your friend
I know that girl has the prettiest eyes that have probably ever been
And one day she might something in you but only when
You try to live

Oh your heart is built to last
Even though it's made of glass
It's okay to break it
And every night when you can't sleep
Remember you don't have to dream to see the reason why you haven't quit

Promise me that you won't leave at 17
Promise me that you won't leave at 17
Promise me that you won't leave at 17
Promise me that you won't leave at 17

Oh your heart is built to last
Even though it's made of glass
It's okay to break it
And every night when you can't sleep
Remember you don't have to dream to see the reason why you haven't quit
