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
