Seventeen - Amrita Soon (孙惠洋)
Written by：Amrita Soon
Where did all the time go I don't even know
One day you're turning ten then it's your birthday again
Blowing out the candles
Wishing for impossible things to happen
And dreams to come true
Cause back then you couldn't wait to grow up
And see the world in a different view
Speak and maybe they'll listen to you
Cause when you're grown up
You can do what you want to
And you couldn't wait for the day to come
When you wouldn't need anyone to drive you around
But soon you'll figure out
It's not how you thought it would be
At seventeen
Friends will come and go
And you'll feel alone
Crying in your bedroom
Thinking I should've known
Cause when they said forever
They didn't mean together
We were little kids then
Didn't want this to end
So why did I have to grow up
Cause everything is different now
Seeing the world is upside down I used to dream in colour
But now it's black and white and I'm trying to do this right
Cause they say you've only got one life
But it's hard cause fairy tales have crashed into reality
And it's not how I thought it would be
At seventeen
And you're gonna wake up one day
And realize it's gonna change
It's all in your head
It's all in your head now
And you don't have to be afraid
Cause every time you walk away
You're missing out
You're missing out
I learnt so much when I realized
You never stop learning all your life
Sometimes you need to feel lost
To know where you're supposed to go
I'm just a girl in this big old world
A stranger walking down this lonely road
And I'll let go of the past cause the future's already here
And it's better than I thought it would be
Yeah it's better than I thought it would be at seventeen
