Growing Pains

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? hmm 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 Pré-Refrão 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 Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah 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 Pré-Refrão And I guess the bad can get better Gotta be wrong before it's right Every happy phrase engraved in my mind 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 Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night Ponte: 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'd like to admit But I can't lie to myself, to anyone 'Cause phoning 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 pains
