Growing Pains - Alessia Cara
You're on your own kid
You are
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
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
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
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 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
Hey hey hey yeah hey yeah
oh yeah
Hey hey hey yeah hey yeah
Hey hey hey yeah hey yeah
no no
no band-aids
for the growing pains
