Growing Up
I thought that I could fit your mould
That I could muster up some self control
I got lost somewhere between
Who I am and what you expect of me
And I could be alive but barely living
But I'd rather take a risk that's worth remembering
Cause' I could find a million reasons
Why I won't go on to see them
As for myself, life's short
And I don't wanna be
Too afraid to fall asleep
If growing up is just because
That's what they think it takes to be someone
I'd rather be myself
Time is never on my side
I've got a lot to give
I've got a lot but
I won't give, I won't give my life
I don't expect to blend in with
A world that's so caught up with this
Fitting in with everyone
You lose yourself and when you're done
It all comes caving in
You're covered up in what you could have been
Sinking in solitude
They'll all forget you
As for myself, I'm sure I could
Figure it out
Figure it out, on my own
If growing up is just because
That's what they think it takes to be someone
I'd rather be myself
Time is never on my side
I've got a lot to give
I've got a lot but
I won't give, I won't give my life
And I am not the only one
I'm gonna give it my all
And I know that I will fly
But not before I fall
I will never be ashamed of who I am
If growing up is just because
That's what they think it takes to be someone
I'd rather be myself
Time is never on my side
I've got a lot to give
I've got a lot but
I won't give, I won't give my life
That I could muster up some self control
I got lost somewhere between
Who I am and what you expect of me
And I could be alive but barely living
But I'd rather take a risk that's worth remembering
Cause' I could find a million reasons
Why I won't go on to see them
As for myself, life's short
And I don't wanna be
Too afraid to fall asleep
If growing up is just because
That's what they think it takes to be someone
I'd rather be myself
Time is never on my side
I've got a lot to give
I've got a lot but
I won't give, I won't give my life
I don't expect to blend in with
A world that's so caught up with this
Fitting in with everyone
You lose yourself and when you're done
It all comes caving in
You're covered up in what you could have been
Sinking in solitude
They'll all forget you
As for myself, I'm sure I could
Figure it out
Figure it out, on my own
If growing up is just because
That's what they think it takes to be someone
I'd rather be myself
Time is never on my side
I've got a lot to give
I've got a lot but
I won't give, I won't give my life
And I am not the only one
I'm gonna give it my all
And I know that I will fly
But not before I fall
I will never be ashamed of who I am
If growing up is just because
That's what they think it takes to be someone
I'd rather be myself
Time is never on my side
I've got a lot to give
I've got a lot but
I won't give, I won't give my life
