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

    Secrets collecting dust but never forget
    SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet

    I found out what it takes to be a man
    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 a man
    Mom and Dad will never understand
    WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME
