I never got in 1st place Was always worried about the worst case Never learned to breathe out That's one of my curses Everything is surface And I don't know how to act Yeah, I never was the fastest Got beaten by my classmates Started skipping classes And writing these songs about you When everyday is gray I miss the blue And I don't even care about it As long as you care about me Life was better when I was 17 And I don't even care about it As long as you are happy Life was better, but at least now I'm free And I don't even care about it As long as you care about me Life was better when I was 17 And I don't even care about it As long as you are happy Life was better, but at least now I'm free Dirty, dirty You are always in a hurry You left me with no mercy I cried my eyes the whole first week I dont know for what I'm searching Or what I'll do when I'm thirty But I know that you're the best And I am not deserving Never came in 1st Place But to you was number one You always made me feel like the sun Now you're standing in the middle of the field With a gun Didn't even give me a chance to run away And I don't even care about it As long as you care about me Life was better when I was 17 And I don't even care about it As long as you are happy Life was better, but at least now I'm free And I don't even care about it As long as you care about me Life was better when I was 17 And I don't even care about it As long as you are happy Life was better, but at least now I'm free Nah, but I thought I told you all of this a long time ago Maybe I didn't You didn't, I didn't know any of this I swear to God Oh well, you do now I guess and I hope, I hope it doesn't make you feel any different Haha And I don't even care about it As long as you care about me Life was better when I was 17 And I don't even care about it As long as you are happy Life was better, but at least now I'm free At least now I'm free Yeah, yeah But at least now I'm free At least now I'm free And I don't even care about it As long as you care about me Life was better when I was 17 And I don't even care about it As long as you are happy Life was better, but at least now I'm free
