Growing up wasn't always fun
There are many battles I haven't won.
Being on the outside never helped
Nor did hiding everything I ever felt.
Growing up wasn't always fun
Paying for wrongs I'd never done.
Being alone never helped
Nor all of the anger I ever felt.
Growing up wasn't all silver and gold
Like all the fairy tales I was told.
Sometimes it was grim, sometimes dark
I wish they'd bother to tell that part.
Growing up wasn't always fun
And I'll continue to fight the battles I never won.
I'll come to the inside and won't be alone
I'll enjoy it this time before it's gone.
