Boys come and go at seventeen

And hearts get broken in between

Emotions race like fast cars

Patience comes so hard



But I know I've got to make

Make my own mistakes

No one's gonna make them for me

And I've got to cry my tears

It might take me years

But when it's finally here

I'll know love



For now it's just a question mark

'Til someone writes the answers in my heart

'Til love fills up the pages

All I can say is that



I know I've got to make

Make my own mistakes

No one's gonna make them for me

And I've got to cry my tears

It might take me years

But when it's finally here

I'll know love



I'll find the one

That I've been dreaming 'bout

It'll be okay

It'll all work out 'cause



But I know I've got to make

Make my own mistakes

No one's gonna make them for me

And I've got to cry my tears

It might take me years

But when it's finally here

I'll know love



But I know I've got to make

Make my own mistakes

No one's gonna make them for me

And I've got to cry my tears

It might take me years

But when it's finally here

I'll know love
