Divided By Friday - Growing Up lyrics

rate me

I thought that I could fit your mold,

That I could muster up some self control

I got lost somewhere between,

Who I am and what you expect of me.

And I could be alive and barely living,

But I'd rather take a risk that's worth remembering,

'Cause I could find a million reasons

Why I won't go on deceiving myself.

Life's short and I don't want to be

Too afraid to fall asleep

If growing up is just because

That's what they think it takes to be someone,

I'd rather be myself.

Time is never on my side

I've got a lot to give

But I won't give my life

I don't expect to blend in with

A world that's so caught up with this,

Fitting in with everyone

You lose yourself and when you're done,

It all comes caving in

You're covered up in what you could have been

Sinking in solitude,

And they'll all forget you

As for myself, I'm sure

I could figure it out on my own.

If growing up is just because

That's what they think it takes to be someone,

I'd rather be myself.

Time is never on my side

I've got a lot to give

But I won't give my life

And I am not the only one

I'm gonna give my all

And I know that I will fly

But, not before I fall

I will never be ashamed of who I am.

If growing up is just because

That's what they think it takes to be someone,

I'd rather be myself.

Time is never on my side

I've got a lot to give

But I won't give my life

Time is never on my side

I've got a lot to give

But I won't give (I won't give) my life
