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
