Sixteen

[Verse 1]
I know that I say I don't like drama
But quiet seems so scary to me
When everybody's gone and the candles are all blown out
And it's just me

[Chorus]
I'm thinking about homework that is due tomorrow
Dancing all alone at prom
And oh that boy that I thought was here to stay
I'm thinking about how I yelled at my mama
I hope she knows that I'm sorry
And why aren't me and dad on the same page
I know that I should really stop and start to learn to call on you first
But bear with me, I'm only sixteen

[Verse 2]
I know that I say I'm ready to get older
But it's scarier than I thought it would be
People keep on asking about my future
When I just wanna wear sweatpants, eat pizza and ice cream

[Chorus 2]
But I'm thinking about what I'm gonna wear tomorrow
Am I cute enough to model?
All those girls that I thought would be my friends
I'm thinking about how I yelled at my mama
I hope she knows that I'm sorry
And why aren't me and dad on the same page
I know that I should really stop and start to learn to call on you first
But bear with me, I'm only sixteen

[Bridge]
I wanna pray and tell you what's on my heart
But I'm kinda scared that I don't know where to start
So all that I can do is talk to you like a friend
And ask, if we can start again

[Chorus 3]
'Cause I don't wanna wait till tomorrow
To tell you all about my sorrows
Even when you don't speak, I know you'll be listening
So I come to you with an open heart
Knowing you have open arms
And if I fall on to my knees, I know you're gonna catch me
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to learn that I should call you first
Bear with me I'm only sixteen
