Another long day, another hallway
The crowd is slow, she's all alone
She's come a long way
But god this always comes and goes
And no one knows

She don't wanna fall asleep tonight
Drowning in the teardrops in her eyes
She can't take it, can't take it

17 and no will to fight
Scared to live but too young to die
She's gotta figure it out
Gotta buy her some time
Pretending everything will be fine
On the edge toeing the line
Too proud to lose but too done to try
She's gotta figure it out
Gotta make up her mind
'Cause otherwise she's saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

Her dad's a banker, He's chasing paper
He can't be home, It takes its toll
Her friends they take her
They try to save her
She can't control her feelings oh
She don't wanna wake up half alive
Drowning in the teardrops in her eyes
She can't take it, can't take it

17 and no will to fight
Scared to live but too young to die
She's gotta figure it out
Gotta buy her some time
Pretending everything will be fine
On the edge toeing the line
Too proud to lose but too done to try
She's gotta figure it out
Gotta make up her mind
'Cause otherwise she's saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

17 and no will to fight
Scared to live but too young to die
She's gotta figure it out
Gotta buy her some time
Pretending everything will be fine
On the edge toeing the line
Too proud to lose but too done to try
She's gotta figure it out
Gotta make up her mind
'Cause otherwise she's saying goodbye
Saying goodbye
