Fletcher - Highlight Lyrics

Highlight of my seventeen
You turned my summer daze to a dream
You got misfortuned history
Which I promised I would never repeat

Cause you put some joy on my receipt
Now I pay in nights devoid of sleep
Who'd have known our time would fleet
Cause darling I tried my best at giving
Seems my efforts weren't sufficient

To drown the sorrow
That holds you
Still holds you down

When I say I don't know
I mean I don't understand
Haven't been through what you have
But I still try to help

Highlight of my seventeen
You don't know how much you started to mean
With post-work words across my screen
You left me now you leave me unseen

Cause my days have been so painful generally
But it's nothing on what you've been through
I only wished you no more grief
And you attempted not to cry
But you still wouldn't let me try

To drown the sorrow
That holds you
Still holds you down

When I say I don't know
I mean I don't understand
Haven't been through what you have
But I still try to help

And now at night I lie on my right side
Imagining you're still there
Got to police the distractions in my mind
It's still following you upstairs

The reservations in your intonations
Girl I knew they were always there
Despite how I tried
Despite how I cared
