Growing Pains

Left hand writing on the page

Learning how to act my age

Trigger pull the bullets run

It's good to know I'm not still numb

I don't want to let you down

Simple words have found me out

Looking down I'm on the edge

I let it out till nothing's left

I never meant to desert you

It hurts to feel betrayed

Where did the time go a child knows

The games as adults play

Out of my body I'm sorry

We're living this again

Growing up is not the same as growing older

Growing pains

Doctor tell me what's the trick

Is this a problem you can fix

I've been to meetings once a week

The broken cannot heal the bleak

I never meant to desert you

It hurts to feel betrayed

Where did the time go a child knows

The games as adults play

Out of my body I'm sorry

We're living this again

Growing up is not the same as growing older

Growing pains

...

Weight of worry only grows

With a child of my own

Generations in repeat

I want it all to stop with me

I never meant to desert you

It hurts to feel betrayed

Where did the time go a child knows

The games as adults play

Out of my body I'm sorry

We're living this again

Growing up is not the same as growing older

Getting by is not the same as getting over

Growing pains
