When I was 17 years old
I should have hit the road
With only just the clothes on my back
But I made a mistake
That I have yet to shake
It's keeping me awake in the black
'Cause I threw away my only chance
When I turned my back on me
Is it true they say that what you are now
Is all that you're meant to be?
Meant to be without a cause
Been working on my flaws
And holding for applause way too long
You see it in my eyes
That this is my demise
And I'll apologize if I'm wrong
'Cause I threw away my only chance
When I turned my back on me
Is it true they say that what you are now
Is all that you'll ever be?
When I was 17 years old
Oh I should have hit the road
With only just the clothes on my back
I made a mistake
But you cannot take it away
It's keeping me awake at night
