Lyrics

Friends wear the scars of the lessons you learn
And sit by the embers of bridges you burn
We all have a story and we each take a turn
Laughing at all your shit

And everyone is just somebody you knew
And you never mean harm by the things that you do
But saying it through tears don't make it true
It just makes hard to forget it

CHORUS:
And the growing up boy never grows up
Stunted by fears and haunted by love
Too late to learn you've taken enough
Growing up boy

It's heartache, it's heartbreak, it's dark clouds and then
It's a day of self-pity and he's on the mend
He finds true love for the first time again
When the memory of last girl lapses

And he wakes up half hearted and he looks at his phone
For a message to remind him that he's not alone
And he always has many but none are from home
So he goes back to bed and collapses

CHORUS

Today is your birthday, so I wrote in a card
But to say a kind word I just found it too hard
I erased what I meant, so just disregard
And make what you want of this one

Love is not like the songs that you sing
How good you can play them well it don't mean a thing
If you steal every verse and break every string
And there's no one around when you're done

CHORUS
(Grow up)
