Grow

Here's a little analogy that I've worked up
Imagine a daisy on an open field
And somebody comes by with buckets of liquid
And can't understand why the flower is drowning

It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
That's some fertilizer that you slipped
Into my drink

The liquid was thick and brown and red with snakes
And all I'd ever been fed was store-bought formula
And someone is screaming at me for emotions
That I have stored deep beneath my baby fat
(I'm very fat)

It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
And lord knows you poured it so freely
On me, dear

It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain, a lot of scars, a lot of rain
A lot of shame, a lot of lies
A lot of blame, a lot of cries in the night
A lot of sores from all the fights
No shore in sight

It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
It takes a lot of pain to make me grow
And lord knows I'll soon be a man now
After what you've done
