Sixteen Lyrics - Singles - Westbound Sign

2, 3, 4! 

I remember the first time my heart fell apart 

I remember when the cutting started 

I remember the music that saved my life 

I remember the night that the music died 

I remember the guns and the knives 

I remember the tears and the cries 

I remember the time that my dad said to me, 

"Son, I'm disappointed. You're not who I wanted you to be." 

Well, I was sixteen 

And I was living the dream 

Engulfed in the emotional scene 

I was sixteen 

Dressed like it was Halloween 

Ready to take the world down with me 

I remember the girl who became my world 

We watched the stars on the lake while we twirled 

I remember when she told me she'd been cheating 

She never loved me, why did I ever believe? 

I wrote the lyrics that fucking described 

And I punched a hole in the wall straight through it 

And I screamed the words that kill me sometimes 

And I hate the world, these stars will never be mine 

Well, I was sixteen 

And I was living the dream 

Engulfed in the emotional scene 

I was sixteen 

Dressed like it was Halloween 

Ready to take the world down with me 

I will fight it 

I won't deny it 

Stick my fingers up and tell them to fuck themselves 

I'll win this 

There's no denying 

I'm fucking sick of crying 

I was sixteen 

And life was a nightmare 

I don't think I've ever felt so scared 

I was sixteen 

And nothing was fair 

I don't give a fuck, no I don't care 

Well, I was sixteen 

And I was living the dream 

Engulfed in the emotional scene 

I was sixteen 

Dressed like it was Halloween 

Ready to take the world down with me 

I was sixteen 

And I was living the dream
