lyrics

NOBODY HEARS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING
TOO MANY TEARS HAVE YOU CALLING WHAT CAN I DO
WHY IS IT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE
WHERE IS A LOVE YOU OFTEN WONDER
TOO MANY NIGHTS MAKE YOU WAIT AND WONDER
HOW CAN IT BE WHY DO YOU FEEL THERE'S NO ONE THERE
IF ONLY YOU COULD STEAL AWAY SOMEHOW
MAYBE THEY'D UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE USE ANYHOW
YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN LOST IN A WORLD WHERE YOU BELONG
ONLY SEVENTEEN CAUGHT IN A DREAM AND ALWAYS WRONG
AND AS THE NIGHT BEGINS TO FALL HOW CAN YOU WIN
YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN
WISHIN' AND HOPIN' SOMETIMES PRAYING
WANTING TO LEAVE BUT YOU KEEP SAYING
SOMEDAY SOON SOONER OR LATER YOU'LL BE FREE
YOU KNOW INSIDE YOUR HEART THAT YOU WANT TO RUN
IT'S GONNA TEAR YOU APART 'CAUSE IT JUST CAN'T BE DONE
YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN LOST IN A WORLD WHERE YOU BELONG
ONLY SEVENTEEN CAUGHT IN A DREAM AND ALWAYS WRONG
AND THOUGH YOU TRY TO LAUGH YOU SEE MY PHOTOGRAPH
IT REMINDS YOU TOO MUCH OF OUR DREAM
THEY SAID YOU WERE A CHILD AND I WAS FAR TOO WILD
BUT YOU STILL CRY FOR WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
OH YEA YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN
YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN LOST IN A WORLD WHERE YOU BELONG
YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN CAUGHT IN A DREAM AND ALWAYS WRONG
AND AS THE NIGHT BEGINS TO FALL HOW CAN YOU WIN
YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN LOST IN A WORLD CAUGHT IN A DREAM
