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 everyday   Everyday   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've made mistakes   I know it's just 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.
