Growing Pains Lyrics

I’ve been tripping over these roots of mine

They’re coming up because the ground is dry

I think I planted here just hoping to survive

And now I’m bent over backwards trying to find the light

And it’s a hell of time when life ain’t making sense

And suddenly anxiety is your new best friend

Cuz I’d almost rather sit and question it

Then to go and find out what the answer is

And I’ve been letting in doubts that I never should

And then freaking out when I don’t feel so good

But they never leave as easy as they come

And so I’m forced to confront them one by one

And I just wish that I could take it all back

And rewind to before I knew all that

But I’m stuck here just hating who I am

And all the problems I’m always seeming to let in

And I asked God to uproot my pains

And he went ahead and dug up everything

So I guess I had more than just a few small weeds

I was living and suffocating blissfully

I was living and suffocating blissfully

Why is the healing worse than the hurt itself?

Why does the growing start from a hole deep down?

And I know that these are growing pains

I’m hoping one day I’m gonna feel okay

Cuz right now I feel like I might break

Being stretched in a million different little ways

And so I’m getting down on my knees to pray

Cuz right now it’s the only thing that feels safe

So if you’re not gonna take it all away

Then all I can ask for is more strength

All I can ask for is strength
