11

11 - Cassadee Pope

At 7 years old everything was right

Table for four on a Friday night

Didn't see any signs of a dead end road

By the time I was 10 everything was changing

Fell asleep every night prayin

Didn't know which way to go

Mama did her best to hide her anger

And I did my best to try and save her

I was a little too young and a little too dumb

To ever think the day would come

When dad would drive away

And take his love with him

So I grew up fast in a whole new world

Waved goodbye to that little girl

I can see her now – innocent and 7

I wish I had never turned 11

We moved into a smaller house

How mama did it oh I don't know how

Never went to bed without eating

At 13 I finally realized

What it means to get on with your life

But daddy sure did and he made it look easy

Mama did her best to hide the struggle

And I did my best to stay out of trouble

I was a little too young and a little too dumb

To ever think the day would come

When dad would drive away

And take his love with him

So I grew up fast in a whole new world

Waved goodbye to that little girl

I can see her now – innocent and 7

I wish I had never turned 11

I wish that I could turn back time

And tell myself it'll be alright

You're never gonna lose a lot in your eyes

I was a little too young and a little too dumb

To ever think the day would come

So I grew up fast in a whole new world

Waved goodbye to that little girl

I can see her now – innocent and 7

I wish I had never turned 11

I wish I had never turned 11

I wish I had never turned ELEVEN
