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
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 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
yeah yeah yeah yeah and i can't hide because growing pains are keeping me up at night
yeah yeah yeah yeah and i can't
hide because growing pains are keeping me up and i try to mend what's left of my content and
comprehension 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 unknown yeah and i guess the bad can get better gotta be wrong before it's right
every happy phrase arguing with my heart and being on my own it's just a little bit of a let's go
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I can't hide
Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I can't hide
Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
Starting to look like Miss 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
You don't have to do

Those 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
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
No band-aids for the growing pains
