I still remember those summer nights
The parking lots and neon lights
Thinking we'd stay the same forever
Like nothing could change us

We were young, we were loud
Trying to figure ourselves out
Chasing dreams through every street
Believing love was all we'd need

But time keeps moving
Even when we don't want it to
And some chapters end
Before we're ready to

Goodbye, seventeen
You still live inside of me
In every scar, every memory

Goodbye, seventeen
I don't need to be that girl anymore
I'm walking out that door

Goodbye, seventeen

I spent years looking behind
Trying to find what I left behind
But every road I took back then
Only brought me here again

The people changed
The places too
And some of the things I thought were true
Were only lessons in disguise
Teaching me how to survive

And now I see it
Growing up was never the hard part
Learning to let go
Was where it all starts

Goodbye, seventeen
You still live inside of me
In every scar, every memory

Goodbye, seventeen
I don't need to be that girl anymore
I'm walking out that door

Goodbye, seventeen

To every mistake I made
To every night I cried
To every dream that fell apart
To every time I tried

To every love I couldn't save
To every version of me
Thank you for getting me here
But it's time to leave

Goodbye, seventeen
You'll always be a part of me
But you don't get to define me

Goodbye, seventeen
I finally found who I'm supposed to be
And she's stronger than your memories

Goodbye, seventeen
Oh-oh-oh
Goodbye, seventeen
Oh-oh-oh
Goodbye, seventeen

I don't live there anymore
But I'll always remember
Goodbye, seventeen
