Cassadee Pope - 11 Lyrics






Seven years old, everything was right
A table for four on a Friday night
Didn't see any signs of a dead end road
By the time I was ten everything was changing
Fell asleep every night praying
Didn't know which way to go

Momma 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 seven
I wish I had never turned eleven

We moved into a smaller house
How mama did it, oh I don't know how
Never went to bed without eating
At thirteen I finally realized what it means to get on with your life
Well 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 seven
I wish I had never turned eleven

I wish that I could turn back time and tell myself it'll be alright, you're never gonna lose the light 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 seven
I wish I had never turned eleven
I wish I had never turned eleven

I wish I had never turned eleven

    2018's entering its final quarter, yet I'm still listening to this beautiful underrated country song.

  18. J.... P....

    Your Number 1 Fan from Philippines Iloveyou 💜💝. ireallylove this song

  19. w.... ....

    To anyone still not over her Hey Monday days and can't fully accept her country sound and to country music fans who hates mainstream country-pop, listen to this country masterpiece. This is what country music is supposed to be. Telling stories of love, life, challenges and dreams through songs. And she has done it very great. She opened up her heart through country music. If she went pop-rock, do you think pop-rock fans will love a song like this? I guess not

  20. l.... K....

    When i was 7 i thought my life was great i had good friends i had a family i got spoiled but one thing i thought when i heared this song i said when i am 11 life is going to be great but no instead my firends move i moved my mom dies and alot of other things now i go back to this song and lisen to the lryics and say all this stuff is right

  21. K.... A....

    a song which can make anyone feel better:)

  29. J.... H....

    this song is how my life was too then it change my whole life I the some away my brother died when I was too13th years old that was hard it still is

  30. J.... H....

    hey my song is this it make me happy

  31. L.... E....

    my fav song

  32. L.... J....

    It's been 2 years since my dad moved out due to an alcohol addiction and I still cry when I hear this song. Unlike Cassadee, I was 17 when it happened. I believe, comparing my story to other's who were younger, that the older you are, the more you understand and the more it hurts. When you are close to being an adult, you are smarter and deal with more issues than someone who was 7 or 8 when their parents divorced. When you are older, you do not buy into any sugar-coated bull crap that your parents might tell you to make you feel better because you know exactly what is going on. And it gets worse when you are the adult who has to be there for your dad in rehab and when he has surgery to fix the damage caused by alcohol abuse. Nobody should have to spoon feed their father in a hospital bed when the man is 43. My brother and I had to help him and our mom on top of going to school and maintaining our social lives. Mom had to work and job hunt and when it got harder at home with mom, dad slowly shut us out. Earlier in the semester, he came to my college campus for a football game and did not even make an effort to visit his eldest daughter and his future son-in-law. I would invite his new girlfriend to my fiancé and I's wedding in 3 years before I let him walk me down the aisle. I pray for everyone who has sadly endured divorce. This is something that no one should have to go through.

  33. S.... L....

    I love listen to Cassadee's music. Her voice is just so pure. Keep at it girl <3

  34. C.... D....

    Great song

  35. B.... C....

    I just found her but 11 brings me to tears this is a true story I have somewhat the same life as her because my dad left me when I 10it is hard but we know talk

  36. e.... w....

    my dad cried when I went to go see him and played this song he cried because he knew that the exact same thing happened to us and me and my brother blame him

  37. B.... ....

    story of my life...

  38. V.... O....

    que wey es la mejor que sad yo aqui y Cassadee Pope aya :(

  39. M.... C....

    I love this song so much. the reason why is because this song tells my life and everything. even though I was only 4 or 5. or younger. now its been 11 years and I haven't seen my father.

  40. L.... ....

    The song is so sad but the video is so beautifully made.

  41. C.... ....

    my goal this year was to listen to this song before I turn 12 almost a month until my birthday I kinda which I hadn't...

  42. u.... ....

    She is so talented, songs like this deserve more recognition.

  43. R.... ....

    She really puts emotion in her songs and her life story I love it

  44. N.... S....

    She has a powerful voice

  45. L.... ....

    I remember listening to this years ago and loving it even then. I wish more people knew about her she deserves more fame

  46. P.... ....

    I just feel like when you turn 11 everything changes like a lot

  47. p.... w....

    Cassadee- love the song and pics. So happy for your success. Grammy nomination in 2017!

  48. A.... ....

    I start missing my father that never even left ! Damn!

  49. D.... W....

    I have lived this song

  50. T.... A....

    This is her best song to date.

  51. K.... B....

    11 was when I had to put my cat to sleep😥

  52. G.... ....

    I can not not cry

  53. L.... ....

    This is a bad sign, I turned eleven a few days ago

    L.... ....

    i turn twelve in 5 months

    L.... ....

    Hahaha Such a joke

  54. D.... ....

    Just met her today at my local fair. She is so amazing <3

  55. G.... E....

    My "father" left about two years ago but was apparently already with another woman when he left. We used to stay in touch but he acts like I don't exist anymore and is always with his new family that are more important to him. I realize that he doesn't deserve my time but it's hard to grow up surrounded by friends who complain when their dad forgets something simple when I don't even have a father.

    G.... E....

    omg i know exactly what you mean

  56. M.... A....

    I was 11 when I made friends with my new neighbor that would then molest me and almost rape me until I turned 13

  57. A.... Z....

    i cried reading this comment section it's so sad :(

  58. F.... R....

    This song is my life completely, Like everything is spot on my life

  59. K.... M....

    this is me I'm 11

  60. t.... ....

    I wish I never turned 11 because that's when someone in my life that's really close to my cousin got murdured, 11 was when I was depressed, every friend of mine shutted me out, when I got 3 disorders, when pressure was building up on me 1000x more, music and internet was my only escape and hope, my cousins have changed, when my parents disagreed more, when I was vulnerable,
    it was when I changed and can never revert back.

    t.... ....

    😣😦😢😯😨

    t.... ....

    Beatrice Ville I know what you're feeling I'm 12 now and I'm cutting myself because of depression I started cutting myself when I was 11

    t.... ....

    +Marie Beebe I'm so sorry! Please feel better. When I'm depressed, I take a minute to make a mental list of what I do have. it helps, trust me.

    t.... ....

    I will. Thanks :)

    t.... ....

    Positive mental attitude 😁

  61. L.... V....

    11 was when my shunt first started breaking. 11 was when I got my period. 11 was when I had to adjust to being without Belle. Now Belle has changed, her brother and I are in love, I may need a 4th surgery, I have PHACE Syndrome and Scoliosis, my sister is moving to another state, and I had like 3 muscle spasmic episode yesterday

  62. m.... m....

    my dad left when i was 3 because... well i dont know. i have not seen or heard from him seance. i dont even remember what he looks like or sounds like. every thing of his is gone. its like he fell of the face of the earth. he left not with his love but to find a new one.

  64. K.... L....

    I wish I never turned 11 because my mom died from having my little brother and then if that wasn't bad enough my little brother died shortly after because of being born 3 months early...I don't want any attention just want people to know what my mom said before she died...She said "Never give up, if you give up you seem weak and you are stronger than you know"... I repeat that in my head every day of my life......And on October 16 2009 is when I lost my mom and my new-born baby brother. And a few weeks after my father ran away from me and I was left home alone and now I'm stuck with my grandparents......

    K.... L....

    Im so sorry

    K.... L....

    I wish I never turned 11 my father died on October 16 2008 and it's a sad heartbreaking story on how he died but I don't want ppl to know but it was a really hard tough time in my life I just want to let you know it does get easier but the Pain will always be there but so will ur mother and brother in ur heart never forget them they will always live on threw you in ur heart as long as u remember them as long as u do that then they never really died because they live on inside of you always remember you are stronger than you know

  65. E.... W....

    I wrote a song kinds like this I'm 11

  66. L.... K....

    I was reading Sims Freeplay World and earlier comments, and oh my gosh that's terrible!!! My cat died, when I was sad I would cuddle with her and she would always cheer me up. It seemed I was always holding her, I even slept with her. But last year, when I was ten, she went blind and died. Sims Freeplay World's comment helped me out with that, even though their comment was worse. I really liked the song, too.

  67. S.... J....

    she my favorite singer out of most all

  68. S.... J....

    I love cassadee Pope I love her so much

  69. a.... ....

    She's like a mixture of Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus(her old music), I think she's so talented

    a.... ....

    She is nothing like them

  70. O.... M....

    A few days before my seventh birthday, my parents divorced. I was forced to grow up too fast, and today at age twelve I go through struggles that I shouldn't have to deal with until I'm at least 16. That divorce caused all the pain in my life that I'd like to through out the window. And due to my OCD and Anxiety Disorder, I get extremely homesick at my father's, and worry about what my mother will do while I'm gone, because she really is kinda depressed, and at this point I can say the same about myself. Father's Day hurts, it hurts a lot, because sometimes it's really hard to imagine that man as my dad.

  71. D.... P....

    D.... P....
