17

I don't know where my head went
How did I ever manage?
The world got louder but I didn't (ah)
Seventeen candles burning
I wasn't even sure if I could ever feel like this again

But the feeling lasts and it's got some truth
As long as you think every girl is better than you
And they'll tell you that you're not alone

I didn't want to die I just wanted to sleep
And wake up at the end of the year, oh, I believe
Seventeen was the death of me
Everybody seemed to be just fine
While I was freaking out inside of my mind, oh, I believe
Seventeen was the death of me

I was my own worst enemy
Stuck on weird insecurities
Thanks to some chick I don't even know (never met her in my whole life)

But the feeling lasts and it's hard to chew
When all your friends are getting stale and start to hate you
Maybe you're better on your own

I didn't want to die I just wanted to sleep
And wake up at the end of the year, oh, I believe
Seventeen was the death of me
Everybody seemed to be just fine
While I was freaking out inside of my mind, oh, I believe
Seventeen was the death of me

When you're seventeen, nobody knows what you mean
When you're seventeen, you really wanna believe
You're missing everything, you're missing everything
When you're seventeen, you're missing everything

I didn't want to die I just wanted to sleep
And wake up at the end of the year, oh, I believe
Seventeen was the death of me
Don't apologize, it's not your fault
I'm the one who made it harder than all, oh, I believe
Seventeen was the death of me

When you're seventeen, nobody knows what you mean
When you're seventeen, you really wanna believe
You're missing everything, you're missing everything
When you're seventeen
