Don't stand by my window
Don't knock on my door
Don't ever enter my chamber
Don't you bother coming by anymore

Leave me alone with my fever
Leave me alone with my plea
Leave me alone where you left me
Leave me alone with my wound

They won't let me go, no
They can't let me out, no
They won't let me walk, no
And I'm not the only
They can't let us go, no
They won't let me out, no

And don't chase a life that is leaving
Don't chase a life that is lost
Say on your side "I got reason
To be alone with my wound"

They won't let me go, no
They can't let me out, no
They won't let me walk, no
And I'm not the only
They can't let us go, no
They won't let me out, no

They won't let me go, no
They can't let me out, no
They won't let me walk, no
And I'm not the only
They can't let us go, no
They won't let me out, no

I'm staying seventeen
It's all I'll ever be
It's all I ever known
Forever seventeen
My heart is on my sleeve
All I ever known 

They won't let me go, no
They can't let me out, no
They won't let me walk, no

They won't let me go, no
They can't let me out, no
They won't let me walk, no
And I'm not the only
They can't let us go, no
They won't let me out, no

They won't let me go, no
They can't let me out, no
They won't let me walk, no
And I'm not the only
They can't let us go, no
They won't let me out, no
