No one can help you now

You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now

You're going slow, not standing still

You're ripe upon your window sill.

You're growing through what you're going through

You're innocent till you know it's true

You fill your glass and tip your cup

It's just the price of growing up.

Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me

Waiting for a spark to kill the cold

Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed.

Sometimes you won't speak for days

But nothing burns like hidden rage

Not every scar is visible

Walk gently in the time you fill.

Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me

Waiting for a spark to kill the cold

Your past mistakes and tragedies, the reason you're mistrusting me

Watching as it casually unfolds

But what goes on inside, we'll never know

Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed.

If every day just followed a script

With all you love worked into it

Would you ever feel warm enough

Or is it just the price of growing up?

Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me

Waiting for a spark to kill the cold

Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare, disgusting me

Watching as it casually unfolds

But what goes on inside, we'll never know

Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed.
