Eleventeen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don抰 have any reason to place the blame
Through hard times you stood strong
You helped me carry on
You never let us see you cry,
But we knew the tears fell every night
In a room with a closed and locked door,
Will it ever change, or will it all be the same?
Will you get your hopes up once again?
Reaching hands with no one to grab
Will you get your hopes up once again?
You never let us see you cry,
But we knew the tears fell every night
In a room with a closed and locked door,
You never let us see you cry
Will it ever change, or will it all be the same?
Will you get your hopes up once again?
Reaching hands with no one to grab
Will you get your hopes up once again?
You never let us see you cry,
But we knew the tears fell every night
In a room with a closed and locked door,
You never let us see you cry
