The New Seventeen

Breathe in slowly, canvassingShe was only seventeen, he saved her, he saved herLove that holds you, send me overShe left now, to drink aloneHe saved her he saved herLet the love die, by the open door

He said don't let me fallHe said, don't let me go, don't let me go and dieAnd he said it's not your faultHe said, don't let me go, don't let me go and die

I've gone crazy but just maybeMaybe I thought that you might save meTake me to a place that's far away dear, I won't look downYou said you're not cheating but you still scared meEverything you say has become unclearEverything I say now is an act dear, but don't look down

And he said don't let me fallHe said, don't let me go, don't let me go this timeAnd he said it's not your faultHe said, don't let me fall, don't let me fall this time

(She) was only seventeen, he saved her, he saved herNever hope to find the otherShe was only left aloneBut they lost, but they lostNever hope to find the secret chord

He said it's not my faultHe said, don't let me go, don't let me go this timeAnd he said just don't look downHe said, don't let me go, don't let me go this time

And he said it's not my faultNo it's not your fault this timeI know it's not your faultDon't let me go, don't let me go this time
