I Was Only Seventeen

Solo tenía diecisiete años

I Was Only Seventeen

Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerraraI was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzaraI was only waiting 'round for something to begin
Solo tenía diecisiete añosI was only seventeen
Te dije que no significaba nada...I told you that it didn't mean a thing...

Se siente como si hubieran pasado un millón de añosFeels like a million years ago
Pueblo pequeño donde todos se conocenSmall town where everybody knows
Todo sobre todos los demásEverything about everybody else

En aquel entonces no existía tú y yoWay back when there wasn't you and me
Supongo que aún era ingenuoI guess I was still naive
Y el momento era lo más lejos que podía verAnd the moment was as far as I could see

Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerraraI was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzaraI was only waiting 'round for something to begin
Solo tenía diecisiete añosI was only seventeen
Te dije que no significaba nada...I told you that it didn't mean a thing...

¿Por qué no puedes simplemente amarme?Why can't you just love me?
Por favor, no presiones demasiadoPlease, don't push too hard
La verdad que crees buscarThe truth you think you're after
Podría romper tu corazónMight just break your heart

Alguien que pensé que era mi amigoSomeone who I thought was my friend
Pero a veces la gente solo fingeBut sometimes people just pretend
Y nunca volveré a ser el mismoAnd I will never be the same again

Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerraraI was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzaraI was only waiting 'round for something to begin
Solo tenía diecisiete añosI was only seventeen
Te dije que no significaba nada...I told you that it didn't mean a thing...

¿Por qué no puedes simplemente amarme?Why can't you just love me?
Por favor, no presiones demasiadoPlease, don't push too hard
La verdad que crees buscarThe truth you think you're after
Podría romper tu corazónMight just break your heart

Estoy seguro de que hay cosas que preferirías mantener dentroI'm sure there's things you'd rather keep inside
No te preguntaré por todas las cosas que has intentadoI won't ask you about all the things you've tried
No dejes que el ayer se interpongaDon't let yesterday get in the way
¿Por qué no podemos simplemente empezar desde donde estamos?Why can't we just start from where we are?

Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerraraI was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzaraI was only waiting 'round for something to begin
Solo tenía diecisiete añosI was only seventeen
Te dije que no significaba nada...I told you that it didn't mean a thing...

¿Por qué no puedes simplemente amarme?Why can't you just love me?
Por favor, no presiones demasiadoPlease, don't push too hard
La verdad que crees buscarThe truth you think you're after
Podría romper mi corazón....Might just break my heart....
