I didn't know what it was like to grow up
Like you have to make big decisions at times
And be responsible for everything you do.

I thought life would do it as it is destined to
But like every thought, it vanishes
Changing courses faster than lightning
Hard to cope 'cause we settle slower than when we're precipitating.

I didn't know what it was like to grow up
Like you'd have to think more mature now
And understand better than before

I thought life isn't as cruel as it seems
I managed to keep that in mind for the longest time
But it seems that I'm changing my mind
Cause the less I'd like to adjust the more I'll be left behind

I didn't know what it as like to grow up
Like you need to be open-minded now
And justify that sometimes you just have to forget about stuff

I thought life would be easy if you just go with the current
For I knew that there would be lesser drama, lesser stress
But it was just to see who stand their ground and who doesn't
Who would stay and who wouldn't
Standing against the current isn't as easy as you see
But it's fulfilling when it's done finally

I didn't know what it was like to grow up
Like you have to stand your ground and speak up
Cause it will be for the best, I guess
Sometimes, circumstances just forces you up

I thought life isn't as crazy as it seems
That everything about it was just to fulfill what you need
But I guess there's always a flaw in the system
Cause it's not always what you needed.
Something that is too much is not nice
But that's what you always get, I bet

I didn't know what it was like to grow up
Until now that I summed it all up
I think I'm drunk while writing this down
Drunk on thoughts ready to be spoken out

This isn't poetry, I believe
But I guess that's just the way life can be
