Discover the story of the song > I Was Only – The Beu Sisters

The lyrics are about a girl who was just trying to keep herself from feeling trapped and was waiting for something new to happen. She was only 17 years old and told her partner that it didn't really matter. It feels like a long time ago when she lived in a small town where everyone knew everything about each other. She was still naïve back then and didn't realize that things would change so much. She was just trying to protect herself from feeling trapped and waiting for something new to happen. She told her partner that her age didn't matter, but she just wanted him to love her. She didn't want him to push her too hard to reveal the truth, because it might hurt her. There was someone she thought was her friend, but realized that people sometimes just pretend. That experience changed her and made her realize that she would never be the same again. She asks her partner to not let the past get in the way and to start fresh from where they are now. She hopes that he can just love her and not push her too hard, because the truth he's looking for might break her heart. She assures him that she won't ask him about his past and the things he's tried. She wants them to focus on the present and not let their history affect their relationship.
