Today I'm gonna write a sad song,

I'm gonna make it really long

So that everyone can see,

That I'm very unhappy.

I wish I wasn't always wrong

I wish it wasn't always my fault

But the finger that you're pointing

Has knocked me on my knees

And all you need to know is

I'm so sorry it's not like me,

It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know that growing up goes slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say,

If I told them that I cry each day.

But it's hard enough to live so far away.

I wish I wasn't always cold

I wish I wasn't always alone

When the party is over,

How will I get home?

And all you need to know is

I'm so sorry it's not like me,

It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know that growing up goes slow

If all the rules were made to bend

And you swore you were my friend

Now I have to start all over again

Cause no one's going to take your place

And I'm scared I'll never save

All the pieces of a love we made

And I'm so sorry, it's not like me

It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know that I can slip and fall

And you won't let me go

Just let me know that growing up goes slow

And I'm so sorry

It's not like me

It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know that growing up goes slow.
