My heart it melts like plastic
I fell through the hole yesterday
Your smile pulled me in like elastic
I felt my mind detonate

O I make mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains

We broke in two like a matchstick
It burns in my soul every day
Every day
Your world was to me so fantastic
And hell seemed so far away
Far away

O I've made mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You tell me it's just growing pains
And O I've made mistakes
And yes I know it's growing pains

The truth it feels like concrete
I drove into it's walls yesterday
I wish I could be realistic
But like children
My dreams run away

I know I've made mistakes
You say it's growing pains
And when I feel ashamed
You say it's growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You say it's growing pains
I know I made mistakes
And I know it's growing pains

O I've made mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
And O I've made mistakes
And yes I know it's growing pains
