Being real never worked out for me
Choking on my sincerity
I can live a lie and let this die
And pretend this doesn't hurt
But you'll always have a part of me
Perhaps a part I shouldn't need
Play this song, the final wrong
This was made to hurt you
Don't try to defend yourself
Don't try to defend
All the times you used me for attention
All the times you faked it for affection
You never really cared
Cuz if you cared, you'd be right here
I never meant that much to you
I always just somebody who
You knew you'd throw away
Growing up is really lame
Well I guess I'm getting over it
I'm so done getting used to this
Take the knife out of my back
And cauterize the wound
I guess it healed pretty fast
But with a scar I know will last
Cuz nothing's free and now I see
That you were holding me down
Don't try to pretend you're right
Don't try to pretend
All the times you used me for attention
All the times you faked it for affection
You never really cared
Cuz if you cared, you'd be right here
I never meant that much to you
I was always just somebody who
You knew you'd throw away
Growing up is really lame
Growing up is really lame
Growing up is really lame
Growing up is really lame
