Grow Up

I was just a child
I was just a kid
A little lost in this big world

I was so young
I had not found
What I wanted out of this town

They told me: “Grow up”, “Stop being weird”
“Why are you like this?”, “Be more like me”
They couldn’t stop telling me what to be
So I left and disappeared

Even though I walked away
The words were still in my head
Whispering every day
All of the mean words that I dread

Every time I fell down
I thought I was going to drown
Submerged by all their words
They were pulling me downwards
The water way over my head

Chorus

I wanted to prove them wrong
That they can’t break
The one I’ve been all along

I stood up to them
There was nothing I couldn’t overcome
Looking at how far I’ve come
I don’t regret who I’ve become

Chorus

After all these years
I’m proud to say
I’m still myself despite all the things they said
I won’t say there wasn’t pain, I won’t say there weren’t tears

I know it was something hard to fight
But everything turned out alright
Now I can be the one I am today
It’s the one I’ve always been anyway

Chorus x2
So I left and disappeared x2
