grow up

they never said growing up was easy
but a better warning might have been nice
now we're expected to do it all
when all we ever knew was enough to get by

now the world's been turned upside down
an endless quest to find your place
thrown to the dogs in the rain and cold
it's do or die in the human race

racing to be something and someone
heartbreak and heartache along the way
they never said growing up was easy
but a better warning might have been nice

no one tells you to come back when you've gone astray
mommy can't hold your hand all the way
no we're expected to do it all
when all we ever knew was enough to get by
