Growing Pains Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Reminding myself I don't get to decide
If I’m a good person or not
There's pieces of me I don't quite understand
But I see that there's harm they could cause

[Verse 2]
So I swallow that pill with flat gingerale
And start digging everything out of my gut
And growing pains hurt like a bitch
But there was somebody in me that I couldn't become

[Chorus]
Is this real life?
It feels really bad sometimes
Covering my eyes
Tell me when it's safe outside
You asked for nothing back
And you gave me everything
I don't wanna hide
I wanna do something right

[Verse 3]
Reminding myself I can't learn anything if I act like I already know
You’ve always seen right through my bullshit
And I needed it
More than you even knew
[Verse 4]
But I’ll hurt myself bad without blinking
And wanna know why that's a thing that I do
And you've gotten close
And I can't shake the feeling I'm already hurting you too


[Chorus]
This is real life
I'm moving through space and time
Sometimes I forget
I need to remember that
You ask for nothing back
And you gave me so much time
I don't wanna die
I wanna do something right

[Outtro]
I wanna do something

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
