lyrics

You were more to blame than I am
But I guess you'd say the same
And in the end we just sat back and watched the flames
Is was us against the world
Until you figured you could choose
I guess I backed the only thing I never thought could lose

Seventeen and on my knees, you showed the world to me
And I guess that's the way I should keep your memory
It's been years now since we parted and you walked away from me
But if you know where to look you won't strain your eyes to see the mark you left on me

On a Northern winter morning
Where the wind bites at your skin
Slowly shifting from my head, the wine and beer and sin
To a stormy city evening
Down a street I'd known before
I turned my coat towards the rain and kicked a closing door

Seventeen and on my knees, you showed the world to me
And I guess that's the way I should keep your memory
It's been years now since we parted and you walked away from me
But if you know where to look you won't strain your eyes to see the mark you left on me

I fall about all over now, from one place to the next
Taking all that I can hold, leaving glory or regret
Never give away the things that you can not afford to lose
Never point a loaded gun unless you're willing to shoot

Seventeen and on my knees, you showed the world to me
And I guess that's the way I should keep your memory
It's been years now since we parted and you walked away from me
But if you know where to look...

Seventeen and on my knees, you showed the world to me
And I guess that's the way I should keep your memory
It's been years now since we parted and you walked away from me
But if you know where to look you won't strain your eyes to see the mark you left on me
You won't strain your eyes to see the mark you left on me
