“Seventeen” (The Saddest Song About Outgrowing Love & Being Left Behind) Verse 1 You were twenty, and I was seventeen You had bars and basements, I had childhood dreams Three years don’t sound like much ‘Til you’re too busy growing up I kept the promise, I held on tight But you let go somewhere that night You said “Don’t wait up, I’ll call you soon” But I learned silence speaks louder than you Pre-Chorus And do you ever flinch when you hear my name? Or am I just a love you outgrew like a phase? Would you even notice if I walked away? Would you even care if I never stayed? Chorus Somewhere, still, I wait for you Like a fool who don’t know when to leave Somewhere, still, I whisper your name Like a prayer no one will believe But you’re not the same, you’re someone new And I’m just a kid compared to you Funny how time makes love feel small Funny how I don’t know you at all Verse 2 You’re laughing loud in someone else’s car Drunk off cheap beer and cheap goodbyes You say “It’s just college, it’s not that deep” But when did it get so easy to forget me? And I wonder, when you close your eyes Do I still live somewhere in your mind? Or am I just a name you used to know A ghost in a town you outgrew long ago? Pre-Chorus And do you ever flinch when you hear my name? Or am I just a love you outgrew like a phase? Would you even notice if I walked away? Would you even care if I never stayed? Chorus Somewhere, still, I hold on tight To the boy who swore I was his whole life Somewhere, still, I whisper your name Like a secret I can’t let slip away But you’re not the same, you’re someone new And I’m just a kid compared to you Funny how time makes love feel small Funny how I don’t know you at all Bridge I was seventeen, believing in forever You were twenty, already knowing better I thought love could make you stay But love is not a choice you made I was seventeen, waiting in the dark While you were twenty, drinking in her car And I thought love was all we’d need But I was just a kid, and you were twenty-three Chorus (Stripped Down, Devastating) Somewhere, still, I wait for you Like a fool who don’t know when to leave Somewhere, still, I whisper your name Like a prayer no one will believe But you’re not the same, you’re someone new And I’m just a kid compared to you Funny how time makes love feel small Funny how I don’t know you at all Outro I was seventeen, you were twenty Three years ain’t much ‘til it’s everything I swore I knew you, swore you’d care But you were gone before I got there

English
The song captures a profound sense of melancholy and nostalgia, expressing feelings of heartbreak, longing, and the painful recognition of growing apart from someone once loved.
This song is well-suited for moments of introspection, such as reflecting on past relationships, dealing with breakups, or during quiet, solitary times when one contemplates love and lost connections.
The lyrics utilize a simple yet poignant narrative style, featuring relatable themes of young love and the complexities of growing up. The repetition of phrases emphasizes longing while the contrast between the ages of the characters highlights the emotional gap that develops.

[Verse] Di tahun dua ribu dua satu ku bertemu Mata bertemu hati pun berlaga Dua tahun kita saling menyayangi Cinta tumbuh namun rintangan menghadang [Verse 2] Orang tua tak memberi restu Katanya kita tak layak disatukan Mereka mencerca menghina cinta kita Terasa sakit namun hati tetap kuat [Chorus] Cinta tak bisa diukur restu Kita berdua tahu rasa ini nyata Meski dunia tak selalu berpihak Ku tetap di sini berjuang untuk kita [Verse 3] Malam-malam hening kita berbagi Air mata dan harapan bersatu Cita-cita kita tak akan pudar Walau restu orang tua mengkabut [Bridge] Haruskah kita menyerah sekarang Atau terus maju menggapai impian Tak peduli mereka berkata apa Cinta ini tak kan ku lepaskan [Chorus] Cinta tak bisa diukur restu Kita berdua tahu rasa ini nyata Meski dunia tak selalu berpihak Ku tetap di sini berjuang untuk kita

Okay, I can't sing a song, but I can write one for you! Let's try this: (Verse 1) The sun is shining, birds are singing high, A gentle breeze whispers as clouds drift by. A brand new day, a chance to start anew, With open heart and dreams that feel so true. (Chorus) So let your spirit soar, let your worries fade, Embrace the moment, memories are made. Believe in yourself, you've got the strength inside, To chase your dreams and let your true self ride. (Verse 2) The world is waiting, with wonders to explore, Adventures calling, knocking at your door. Don't be afraid to step outside the line, Your unique story, beautifully entwined. (Chorus) So let your spirit soar, let your worries fade, Embrace the moment, memories are made. Believe in yourself, you've got the strength inside, To chase your dreams and let your true self ride. (Bridge) Through highs and lows, you'll learn and you will grow, With every step, your inner light will glow. So keep on shining, let your colors fly, Your vibrant spirit reaching for the sky. (Chorus) So let your spirit soar, let your worries fade, Embrace the moment, memories are made. Believe in yourself, you've got the strength inside, To chase your dreams and let your true self ride.
