Lyrics:
Shiny silver star on a thin chain
You put around my neck that day
There in the church,
Wanted you so bad it hurt

This is where it all began
When we started out as friends
Loved you more than anything,
But not enough to make me stay
Chorus:
Cos i was young and i was reckless
Didn't clean up my messes
I shouldn't have left u so damaged 
I'm sorry
For breaking your heart,
Tearing your whole damn world apart
I shouldn't have took it that far
I'm sorry
I was so mean
When we were sixteen

Golden glowing lights on a display
We were standing by the river bank
There in the park,
Under street lights in the dark

Where you said that u were sad
And it made me feel so bad
Saying I would never leave u
But you knew I always do
Chorus:
Cos i was young and i was reckless
Didn't clean up my messes
I shouldn't have left u so damaged 
I'm sorry
For breaking your heart,
Tearing your whole damn world apart
I shouldn't have took it that far
I'm sorry
I was so mean
When we were sixteen

And I heard u left your grandma's house
Hope u and your sister's doin' better now
And if ever I see u again,
Hope it's with a wife and two kids
And you're happy
And I don't haunt your dreams
And 25 is a better life 
Than when we were sixteen
Chorus:
Cos i was young and i was selfish
Made a mess of your head, and
I shouldn't have left u so damaged 
I'm sorry
For breaking your heart,
Tearing your whole damn world apart
I shouldn't have took it that far
I'm sorry
Michael Tinsley
Wish u never, ever loved me
When we were sixteen
When we were sixteen

Outro:
Loved you more than anything,
But not enough to make me stay...

Sixteen (Original Song)

Said u were in your prime
At 25
Made me feel like i
Was ruining your life
As i said goodbye

And your daddy never liked me
I bet your mother
Would still invite me
You were the black sheep
Of the family
Son of a preacher man
Who loved your brother best
Chorus:
But if i could i would have tried
To fix u
But you'd blame me
For your daddy issues
And you'd make me
Fuckin' crazy
Giving myself up to u
Like im an offering
Like your God's gift to women
And we'll always be less than
Just like your daddy said
And now i know why
Your wife cheated

Think about u all the time
Now that im 25
Wondering if u ever changed,
Thanking God i got away

And your daddy never liked me
I bet your mother
Would still invite me
You were the black sheep
Of the family
Son of a preacher man
Who loved your brother best
Chorus:
But if i could i would have tried
To fix u
But you'd blame me
For your daddy issues
And you'd make me
Fuckin' crazy
Giving myself up to u
Like im an offering
Like your God's gift to women
And we'll always be less than
Just like your daddy said
And now i know why
Your wife cheated

And this is the story 
Of the preacher boy
Gave myself up like an offering
Fucked me up till i was nothing
But a stupid little girl
Must've been my fault
For making u my world
And i guess it was my fault
It was always my fault...

That your daddy never liked me
How your mother sighed
Every time you'd un-invite me
Being the black sheep 
Of the family
Son of a preacher man
Who loved your brother best
Chorus:
But if i could i would have tried
To fix u
But you'd blame me
For your daddy issues
And you'd make me
Fuckin' crazy
Giving myself up to u
Like im an offering
Like your God's gift to women
And we'll always be less than
Just like your daddy said
And now i know why
Your wife cheated

Now i know why
Now that im 25

Twenty-Five (Original Song)

Lyrics:
Maybe i was crazy 
But im good at storytelling
So damn good at what i do
Crossed all of my lines
To get to you
Chorus:
To get to you
Oooh didn't i get 
Right into you?
Didn't i get you?
Fed u full
Of your fetish
Got off on my storytellin
Boy your sick in the head, and 
I don't get it
But i got you
Yeah i got you

Maybe you're insane
But im a zombie 
Slurping up your brain
Just some shit i have to say
To get to you
Chorus:
To get to you
Oooh didn't i get 
Right into you?
Didn't i get you?
Fed u full
Of your fetish
Got off on my storytellin
Boy your sick in the head, and 
I don't get it
But i got you
Yeah i got you

Talkin in my car
When conversation's too bizzare
This is the price that i pay
So i don't have to drive today
To get to you
I don't know what else to do
Chorus:
To get to you
Oooh didn't i get 
Right into you?
Didn't i get you?
Fed u full
Of your fetish
Got off on my storytellin
Boy your sick in the head, and 
I don't get it
But i got you
Yeah i got you

Fed you full,
So damn good at what i do...

Having always been a writer at heart, recently I've been very inspired to make something of the poetry I've written. Turn it into lyrics, learn to sing it, and learn to play it. I've always dreamed of being a songwriter and now I am not giving up. Thanks so much to all who listen and read the lyrics in the description as I begin this passionate journey <3
