Hello, I've got a story
Of a girl trapped in her skin
Poked by a thousand people, posing as her friends
But a voice was pushing louder from the inside
Just be patient, soon you'll find your own kind
'Cause if they could, they would just change you
But you know they couldn't change you
She's only 16
There's danger in growing
She's only 16
There's danger in growing up
He was the only thing keeping her together
He was her refuge, her best friend
But the conflict of seven years of difference
Overtook the storybook romance
But if he could, he would just change you
But you know he'd never change you
When fact and fiction collide
Chemicals leave judgment denied
But if he could, he would just change you
But you know he'd never change you
She's only 16
There's danger in growing
She's only 16
There's danger in growing up
Hold on, just hold on
The future won't take too long
And there's life between now and growing up
She's only 16
There's danger in growing
She's only 16
There's danger in growing up
