## Lyrics
[verse]
She was young and I was younger still
Playing at a love we couldn't yet fulfill
I held her hand like it was something rare
Never knowing just how much a heart could bear

[chorus]
She was only sixteen, only years from a dream
Too young to know what forever could mean
I loved her the best a boy like me knew how
But sixteen don't stay, and it's over now

[verse]
We wrote each other letters, promised we'd be true
Thought that kind of feeling always just pulls through
But growing up meant growing apart somehow
And all that young love faded like a summer vow

[bridge]
I don't blame her, we were both too green
To carry something bigger than the moment we had seen
Now I'm older, wiser, and I understand
Some loves are just seasons, not a lifelong plan

[chorus]
She was only sixteen, only years from a dream
Too young to know what forever could mean
I loved her the best a boy like me knew how
But sixteen don't stay, and it's over now
