Story behind the song
At age sixteen, I feel like my world is falling apart and as if I spent my life failing and stumbling. "Sixteen years and sixteen different lives later/ All I have to show are my sixteen million failures."
But there's a voice somewhere, trying to reach me, screaming and yelling at me. It's the same voice that has encouraged me throughout my life, but now, my doubts and fears are keeping it from me. "I can't hear you over my doubt's roar."
There's more to life than failing but I feel that I have yet to feel like anything other then a letdown.
Lyrics
The candles blew out as I turned sixteen
Another year to change the way my life has been
Another fresh start and another rebirth
Another year to spend falling back to earth.
You tell me to spread these wings and fly
But I'm afraid of getting up that high
You tell me that I won't fall like I have before
But I can't hear your words over my doubt's roar.
Sixteen years and sixteen different lives later
All I have to show are my sixteen million failures
The sixteen thousand scars left in my mind
The sixteen billions ways I've lost to time.
You tell me to spread these wings and fly
But I'm afraid of getting up that high
You tell me that I won't fall like I have before
But I can't hear your words over my doubt's roar.
Sixteen years and I feel like I've lived forty-three
As if I made enough mistakes to last for the life left in front of me
It's not that I'm lost, it's just that I don't feel like I've been found
If you're listening, don't give up on me now.
