Seventeen

They say if you don't get it off your chest You'll never be able to breathe And I'm standing in my own grave A thousand miles between you and me Cause you and I bathe in a pool of undecided Soaked in gasoline, just trying to ignite it Cause I can be your queen if you'll be my tyrant Force me to ache in somewhere more quiet How can you be so sure That you and I are never gonna work? Is it easier just to pretend? Just to save me in the end How can you be fine? Promise me that you'll change your mind Cause I'm starting to come undone Don't like what you've become And I've held onto everything I've been holding on since you turned seventeen And the whole world was black and white And there was you and me I haven't been fine since I was ten But I swear when I met you, it started to make sense And I've been listening to Brockhampton since summer began How can you be so sure That you and I are never gonna work? Is it easier just to pretend? Just to save me in the end How can you be fine? Promise me that you'll change your mind Cause I'm starting to come undone Don't like what you've become Still remember your smile on the day that we met And the tears in your eyes on the train when you left And all of the jokes and the secrets you kept And all of the songs, you never asked what they meant When you told me you loved me, tell me why did you lie? Back when I had no friends on the Fourth of July And you told me to believe you but this time I'm right And I'm standing here, crying, just wondering why When I called out your name When I snuck out of town Driving ninety on Randall, hoping you'd make a sound But I forget that you're east coast and I'm in the ground So, I'll just keep on praying that you'll come back around How can you be so sure That you and I are never gonna work? Is it easier just to pretend? Just to save me in the end How can you be fine? Promise me that you'll change your mind Cause I'm starting to come undone Don't like what you've become
