Emma Teresa - Only 17 Lyrics

The light shines in through my open window
The wind drags in and whispers a new low
'Says, oh darlin', you're only 17
How can these words mean something

But what about the art of the past experience
I bit my tongue trying hard to convince a crowd
I have something worth to say out loud

And I hope they listen
As they hear me say

This young heart has had
So much to handle
And there was a time where I
Thought that I was too fragile to speak
But here I am
Only 17
And finally I want these words free

Take a sweet breath after you find that release
That intake of fresh air, oh, tastes liberating
That taste you wish you tasted
Long, long ago

But maybe you're still stuck inside your own mind
Thinking who on Earth would give me the time
I'm only 17
A young heart struggling

But maybe they will listen
As they hear you say

This young heart has had
So much to handle
And there was a time where I
Thought that I was too fragile to speak
But here I am
Only 17
Finally voicing words that need to be free

'Cause my young heart has had
So much to handle
And there are still times where I
Feel I am too fragile to speak
But here I am only 17
Finally voicing words that need to be free

And here you are
Trying to be free
And I've been there, too
Believe me
Oh, here I am
Only 17
And I've been there, too
I have been there, too
Believe me

I've been there, too
