[00:17.47]She bought a ticket on a midnight train
[00:19.66]
[00:20.97]To a place she'd never leave again
[00:23.35]
[00:24.91]She blamed it all on her daddy's sins
[00:27.16]
[00:28.79]I blamed it all on me
[00:30.34]
[00:32.85]And I was just a foolish boy
[00:34.97]
[00:36.29]It was love enough to fill the void
[00:38.78]
[00:40.16]Said the words to hear the noise
[00:42.60]
[00:44.16]It was deafening
[00:45.03]
[00:49.72]I never knew that things would change
[00:52.28]
[00:53.35]What we were then, what we became
[00:55.54]
[00:56.91]Oh, we were seventeen
[01:00.41]
[01:03.35]They found her there late that night
[01:05.79]
[01:07.04]On a bed under hotel lights
[01:09.29]
[01:10.91]Trying to make a couple wrong things right
[01:13.41]
[01:14.85]Start over clean
[01:16.03]
[01:18.79]She never did say goodbye
[01:20.60]
[01:22.60]I never did apologize
[01:23.97]
[01:26.28]I knew the words, but I could not lie
[01:28.72]
[01:30.29]I just watched her leave
[01:32.28]
[01:33.04]Watched her leave
[01:33.85]
[01:35.72]I never knew that things would change
[01:37.97]
[01:39.41]What we were then, what we became
[01:41.66]
[01:42.97]Oh, we were seventeen
[01:46.54]
[01:50.85]We wasted time, we wasted tears
[01:53.35]
[01:54.72]We waved goodbye to golden years
[01:57.10]
[01:58.79]Oh, we were seventeen
[02:01.85]
[02:07.10]Beneath the wreckage there's a reason, a reason
[02:12.79]
[02:14.48]Something they looked so hard to see
[02:17.66]
[02:22.10]I took and placed the blame
[02:24.41]
[02:25.91]But still I feel the same
[02:28.22]
[02:29.85]Someone just say it wasn't me
[02:32.54]
[02:39.79]I don't think about her like I should
[02:41.91]
[02:43.10]I used to try but it did no good
[02:45.54]
[02:46.91]She'd forgive me if she only could
[02:49.35]
[02:50.85]We were seventeen
