Ben Lee - 16 Lyrics

Artist: Ben Lee

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Benjamin Lee

I feel had, where's the reckless spirit
I'm supposed to have?
That was crap
Your world's joke making me choke

I'm so mad, I thought my life
Would be like a John Hughes film
I feel had, don't tell me at 16 you were stoked
'Cause I'm a man and I'm a joke

You told me 16 had a girl
16 had a car, 16 made me wise
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
At 16 I'm just lucky to be alive

What's the cost?
I can't move, why do I feel lost?
Piss me off, time is my schedule, school's my boss

There's no love lost because there is no love got
Piss me off, don't tell me being 16 was a joy
'Cause I'm a man and I'm a boy

You told me 16 had a girl
16 had a car, 16 made me wise
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
At 16 I'm just lucky to be alive

Where's my girl? Where's my car?
Where's my record deal? make me a star
Where's my spirit? Where's my team?

I can't be jaded yet 'cause I'm only 16
I can't be jaded yet 'cause I'm only 16
I can't have seen it all, I'm only 16
I can't have seen it all, I'm only 16
