Well I'm just sixteen and my parents don't understand me.
My father and I got into a fight
And he hit me again for the very last time
So I packed my bag and left that night
I'm living on my own though I'm just sixteen.
So I'm just sixteen and my parents don't understand me.
I'm living with a friend that I met on the streets
He's taken me in under his wing
He's teaching me all about the tricks and the treats
I'm learning about life though I'm just sixteen.
chorus/bridge:
Mom and dad don't worry 'bout me, I'm OK
No, I don't think that I'll be coming home today.
Well I'm just sixteen, I'm just sixteen, yes I'm just sixteen
And living on my own.
Well, I'm just sixteen and my parents don't understand me.
And I got this bruise that won't go away
And nothin' I eat wants to stay down
It's getting harder to breath every day
I hope I live through the night 'cause I'm just sixteen.
repeat chorus
