She's Only Sixteen – Does Anyone Remember? lyrics

[Verse 1]
I try to offer what I can but people always just refuse
I set the standards of how much I could take all of the abuse
Give a reason to stay, give a reason to be
I've heard it all just more than once and I'm just trying to be me

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep it on my own side understate
Leaving out the things I've tried to say

[Chorus]
Does anyone remember?
Riot in my mind all kept at bay
Look into myself and conversate
Does anyone remember?

[Verse 2]
Waking up so tired with all the weight I have to bring
I shrug my shoulders even though
I know they cannot feel a thing
Even though I'm so tired and it's just what you fail to see
I'm on my feet and I know it might be quite hard just to believe

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep it on my own side understate
Leaving out the things I've tried to say

[Chorus]
Does anyone remember?
Riot in my mind all kept at bay
Look into myself and conversate
Does anyone remember?

[Bridge]
I feel like I tried hard enough
How long has it been since I saw
Myself on the edge without trouble?
If I count on myself it's absurd
To listen to 'bout every word
A narrative I would insert
I'll break at a valid time
Don't be quick now just to resign
I know that I do need to learn
Forget what I do decide
They'd trap me by my own design
How long must I be on this earth?

[Coda]
Keep it on my own side understate
Leaving out the things I've tried to say
Does anyone remember?
Does anyone remember?
