Thursday afternoon
Just got home from school
Couple hours by yourself playing guitar in your room
Notebook by the bed
Everything you should have said
All the thoughts and secrets you keep spinning around in your head
I'm not gonna tell you to do something different
Spent too many years thinking you were to blame
You're not a drama queen you're just seventeen
And it's okay that you care, no don't you dare feel ashamed
Crying in the car
You know who you are
Tell yourself it's fine, it's not, you can see his house from your backyard
It won't be what you planned
And nobody will understand and
You will say it's sweet the way that he hurts you but then holds your hand
I'm not gonna tell you that you should have listened
Spent too many years saying it was your fault
You're not a drama queen you're just seventeen
And it's okay that you're sad, no you don't have to convince anybody you're not
I am with you even now
They're gonna roll their eyes and you're gonna shut your mouth but
You are stronger than you know
And you're gonna do all the things and go all the places you always said that you'd go
And I love you
Somebody's thinking of you, baby you're never alone
And I am so sorry that I put you through it
But I am so proud of you for holding on
You're not a drama queen you're just seventeen
You're just seventeen
