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've made mistakes

And you just say it's just growing

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 help seemed so far away, far away.

Oh, I've made mistakes

And you just say it's just growing

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

Oh, I've made mistakes

And yes I know, it's growing pains.

The truth it feels like concrete

I drove into this wall yesterday

I wish I could be realistic

But my children, my dreams, went away.

I know I made mistakes

You say it's growing pains

And when I feel ashamed

You say it's growing pains

And I'm crying out for change

You say it's growing pains

I know I made mistakes

I know it's growing pains.

Oh, I've made mistakes

And you just say it's just growing

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.
