Original lyrics
ENI barely knew the boy from class
We didn't talk too much
'Cause I was hiding in the back
And he sat in the front
He was always joking with his friends
A smile on his face
Out of everyone I never guessed
That it would end this way
He was only seventeen
There's so much that he's missed
I just turned 21
And I've barely even lived
That's the hardest part 'cause
I still got my life ahead
And it hurts to think that his is really over
'Cause I keep getting oldеr
I barely knew the boy from class
Wе spoke a word or two
But I could always hear him laugh
From way across the room
So when I heard the news
It really took me by surprise
How somebody as kind as him
Could hurt so much inside
He was only seventeen
There's so much that he's missed
I just turned 21
And I've barely even lived
That's the hardest part 'cause
I still got my life ahead
And it hurts to think that his is really over
'Cause I keep getting older
