Never thought it would be me

Living in a shattered dream

How could this be the end for me?

What I wouldn't give to have

A life to live, a day to plan

Instead I'll be forever seventeen



Could have lived out every dream

I could have been most anything



Can someone wake me up?

I haven't lived yet

I'm only seventeen

God, did you forget?

I'm just a baby

And I don't wanna be

Forever seventeen



I'll never have a bed to make

A test to take, a summer day

I'll always be forever seventeen

I could have had a family

If things had worked out differently

Instead I'll be forever seventeen



Could I have just one more day

A chance to learn from my mistakes



Can someone wake me up?

I haven't lived yet

I'm only seventeen

God, did you forget?

I'm just a baby

And I don't wanna be

Forever seventeen



In a matter of a moment

Life fell before my eyes

And now I'm looking at the meaning of

The miracle of life

Where are we going without even knowing

The answers deep inside



Forever seventeen



So don't give up

You haven't lived yet

You're only seventeen

And God did not forget

You're just a baby
