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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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 oh, 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

Oh, 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 oh, I've made mistakes
And yes, I know it's growing pains
