Lyrics

Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion		(Verse 1)
I found out what it takes to be a man
Well Mom and Dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
Skeletons come to life in my closet		(Verse 2)
I found out what it takes to be a man
Well Mom and Dad will never understand
What's happening to me

Seventeen and coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be man		(Verse 3)
Well Mom and Dad will never understand
What's happening to me
