Red cheeks, bags under the eyes
Full weeks, where you can't even cry
Ripped jeans, clothes you can't buy
Hot steam in the shower where you cry
It's too cold outside
And you know you've got to change your life
It's two fold, all the reasons why
It's not the time
Just yet
You won't believe it
What's waiting on the other side
You can't perceive it
You only see with your eyes
You want a feeling
That never goes away
That ain't real is it?
You just wanna escape the change
Oh it hurts don't it baby?
Oh it hurts don't it baby?
I guess that's why they call it growing pains
No souls in the shoes beneath your feet
Tiptoe you move too quietly
Lost hope found in everything
So close to greeting eternity
You find
All the reasons why
You can keep crying
While days pass you by
You won't retire
This old way way of life
You just keep fire
Burning in your eyes
You won't believe it
What's waiting on the other side
You can't perceive it
You only see with your eyes
You want a feeling
That never goes away
That ain't real is it?
You just wanna escape the change
Oh it hurts don't it baby?
Oh it hurts don't it baby?
I guess that's why they call it growing pains
You won't believe it
What's waiting on the other side
You can't perceive it
You only see with your eyes
You want a feeling
That never goes away
That ain't real is it?
You just wanna escape the change
Oh it hurts don't it baby?
Oh it hurts don't it baby?
I guess that's why they call it growing pains
