SUS - Growing Pains Lyrics

When I was 15 I never thought things through
I picked up a bottle and I didn't have a clue
How fast my innocence would run me blue
Or just how many miles i would walk in these shoes

I had teenage beliefs of which i was so proud
I'd sing them in the streets and i'd sing them loud
But i never thought i'd feel alone in a crowd
Present self-reflection has got me down
Let's go

Can someone tell me is this growing up
All these knots in my chest, are they making me tough
Cos i already feel like i've had it pretty rough
I've been choking on this pain and i wanna cough it up

We both started drinking, it was whirlwind and flash
But i recall him saying you're living in the past
Pulled the thorn from my pride and i started to crash
When ya lose yourself how do ya ever come back

But then the ink from my pen, it started to pour out
Regardless of insecurity and self-doubt
Cos there's only one thing to save a wretch like me
It's the music in my heart so i listened for the beat
Let's go

And i'm pretty sure that this is growing up
All these painful memories, they made me pretty tough
And i already feel like i am more than enough
Better watch out now cos i am comin up
Better watch out now cos i am comin up
Better watch out now cos i am comin up
