Make my way through the motions I try to ignore it
But home's looking farther the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
Is it over yet mmm
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
They tell me it ain't that bad
Now don't you overreact
So I just hold my breath don't know why I can't see the sun
When young should be fun fun
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
And I've always been a go getter
There's truth in every word I write
But still the growing pains growing pains
They're keepin me up at night
And I can't hide
Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
Cause growing pains
Are keeping me up at night
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
As I Take on the stress of the mess
That I've made don't know if I even care for grown
If it's just alone yeah
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
And I've always been a go getter
There's truth in every word I write
But still the growing pains growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
Cause growing pains
Are keeping me up at night
Starting to look like Ms. know it all
Can't take her own advice
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind I cry
More than I want to admit
But I can't lie
To myself to anyone
Cause phonin' it in isn't any fun can't run
Back to my youth the way I want to
The days my brother was quicker to fool
AM radio not much to do
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake
now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
No band aids for the growing pains
No band aids for the growing
