GROWING PAINS Lyrics

You don't know the growth I've made

It's not something that you see in a photo

I shed my childish away

And I let the sun, and I let time heal my weary soul

But it hurt like hell trying to get well

I stopped looking for answers in bottles

And I let people go

Started saying no

Didn't always have the best role models

But there's no one to blame

And there's no shame

I want to be better, better for me

So when I look in the mirror

And when I look within

I'm finally liking, liking what I see

You don't know the growth I've made

Trials, tribulations, facing all my fears

And I should thank you for your part in all of that

Cause I never would have made it

If you were still here

But it hurt like hell trying to get well

I stopped looking for answers in bottles

And I let people go

Started saying no

Didn't always have the best role models

But there's no one to blame

And there's no shame

I want to be better, better for me

So when I look in the mirror

And when I look within

I'm finally liking, liking what I see

They call them growing pains

And I've felt all the ache

But how could you ever really know

When I spent many days smiling to your face

When I could barely stand to be alone with myself

That's a special kind of hell

You don't know the growth I've made

It's not something that you see in a photo

I shed my childish away

And I let the sun, and I let time heal my weary soul
