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 its 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
