I don't know where my head went

How did I ever manage?

The world got louder but I didn't

17 candles burning

I wasn't even sure if

I could ever feel like this again

But the feeling lasts and its 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 wanna die I just wanted sleep

And wake up at the end of the year

Oh I believe 17 was the death of me

Everybody seemed to be just fine

While I was freaking out inside of my mind

Oh I believe 17 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 wanna die I just wanted to sleep

And wake up at the end of the year

Oh I believe

17 was the death of me

Everybody seemed to be just fine

While I was freaking out inside of my mind

Oh I believe

17 was the death of me

When you're 17

Nobody knows what you mean

When you're 17

You really wanna believe

You're missing everything

You're missing everything

When you're 17

You're missing everything

I didn't wanna die I just wanted sleep

And wake up at the end of the year

Oh I believe

17 was the death of me

Don't apologize, it's not your fault

I'm the one made it harder than all

Oh I believe

That 17 was the death of me

(When you're 17, nobody knows what you mean

When you're 17, you really wanna believe

You're missing everything

You're missing everything

When you're 17)
