You used to know her, yeah you knew her well
But lately she don't even know herself
Things are changing, way too fast
And now she's stuck between the future and the past
She's sixteen, not twenty-one
Way too old to be so young
Can't you see she's not who she used to be
You don't believe she can tell
Say she's feeling sorry for herself
Cause you forgot how it feels to be sixteen
Why should she say
What she means
When no one here is even listening
You think she's blind, but she's starting to see
That she's the only one who can set herself free
She's sixteen, not twenty-one
Not a girl, not a woman
Can't you see she's not who she used to be
You don't believe her she can tell
Say she's feeling sorry for herself
Cause you forgot how it feels to be sixteen
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nothing's the same
All of a sudden, overnight, everything changed
She's sixteen, not twenty-one
No, she's not the only one
But tonight, she said it feels that way to me
You don't believe her she can tell
Say she's feeling sorry for herself
Cause you don't know how it feels to be sixteen
She's sixteen, not twenty-one
Not a girl, not a woman
Can't you see she ain't who she used to be
You don't believe her she can tell
Say she's feeling sorry for herself
Cause you don't know how it feels to be sixteen
