Verse 1:
I left home when I was eighteen
Felt embittered and angry
Cos this big house
It left no more room to breathe
Too many fights
With mom's boyfriend
She says we'll fix it in time
It's like what she always does
By pretending that she's fine
It's like what she always says
And no worries
Everything's alright
Chorus:
Old enough
To bear the misery
Old enough
To keep you with me
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
To keep you with me
Old enough
To set you free
Old enough
Seventeen long years
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Seventeen long years
Verse 2:
My father died in an accident
By my side
I still hear his words
Save my son's life
Before you save mine
Sometimes I wish that i could leave
This shit behind
But the past
Is like a tattoo you wear for life
Yeah the past
Is like a tattoo you wear for life
Chorus:
Old enough
To bear the misery
Old enough
To keep you with me
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
To keep you with me
Old enough
To set you free
Old enough
Seventeen long years
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Seventeen long years
I often try to imagine
How it all would have been
Future past and the present
But ‘til the end you will live in
You will live inside
My heart and soul
Chorus:
Old enough
To bear the misery
Old enough
To keep you with me
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
To keep you with me
Old enough
To set you free
Old enough
Seventeen long years
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Seventeen long years
Enough
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Enough
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Enough
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
