[Verse 1] They won't believe the mess I've gotten into Lost all my money on a bad idea But who can I blame but me Myself And I? I'm my own worst enemy Ain't that right? But what I would give for a little sleep But it's my own fault So I'm gonna pay for it [Chorus] "Say what you mean What do you mean?" I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew [Verse 2] Now I'm feeling like the trees in the summer Got a heavy coat to protect my inner soul But I'm not too heavy on the outside But I need to be To be free And how can I survive without that armor? And when will I learn to live with my guilt? [Chorus] "Say what you mean What do you mean?" I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew [Bridge] I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I thought I knew (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Chorus] "Say what you mean What do you mean?" I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew "Say what you mean What do you mean?" I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew when I was seventeen I thought I knew
