Letters from the Fire - Grow Up

I'VE USED YOU LIKE A CRUTCH, BEEN MY EXCUSE FOR TOO LONG
THAT'S WHY I FEEL STUCK, THAT'S WHY NOTHING ADDS UP
SO WHAT ? SO WHAT?
I CAN'T KEEP BLAMING YOU FOR EVERYTHING THATS GONE WRONG
I KNOW YOU HAD A FUCKED UP TIME TOO AT HOME
SO WHAT, SO WHAT
AND I HAD TO RAISE MYSELF, I NEVER TOLD YOU THAT IT ALMOST KILLED ME
FILLED ME WITH SO MUCH INSECURITY
PUSHED YOUR BROKEN DREAMS ON ME
TO MAKE ME BECOME WHAT YOU'D NEVER BE
IT'S TIME TO GROW
IT'S TIME TO GROW UP
THIS TIME, I'M SICK, SO SICK AND FED UP
IT'S TIME TO THROW IT ALL AWAY
TO LEAVE IT IN THE GUTTER
LIFE STARTS TODAY
I JUST KNOW THAT, IF I EVER HAD A DAUGHTER TOO
I'D NEVER LEAVE HER SIDE ESPECIALLY NOT SO SOON
BUT SO WHAT ? SO WHAT?
THOSE TWO GUYS THEY TOOK MY INNOCENCE AWAY THAT DAY
& YOU JUST CLOSED YOUR EYES PARALYZED AND WALKED AWAY
GUESS WHAT ? I GREW UP
JUST LIKE YOU DIDN'T SEE ME STUFF MY FACE AND THROW IT ALL UP AGAIN
I CRIED, I BEGGED, CUZ I JUST NEEDED A FRIEND
NOW THAT I'M STRONGER, WHAT HURTS ME THE MOST
IS TO WATCH MY SIBLINGS LIVES GET FUCKED BECAUSE OF YOU BOTH
IT'S TIME TO GROW
TIME TO GROW UP
TIME, CUZ I'M SICK, SO SICK AND FED UP
TIME TO THROW IT ALL AWAY
TO LEAVE IT IN THE GUTTER
LIFE STARTS TODAY
AND I CAN'T BLAME YOU, SHAME YOU, ANY MORE THAN I HAVE
AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU'RE STILL MY MOM AND MY DAD
AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR EVERY THING THAT BROUGHT ME TO HERE
EVERY BRUISE THAT I GOT, EVERY SCAR, EVERY TEAR
IF YOU THINK THIS IS IT, YOU CAN'T GO ON ANY LONGER
JUST STOP REMEMBER, WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU, ONLY MAKES YOU STRONGER
IT'S TIME TO GROW
IT'S TIME TO GROW UP
THIS TIME, I'M SICK, SO SICK AND FED UP
IT'S TIME TO THROW IT ALL AWAY
TO LEAVE IT IN THE GUTTER
LIFE STARTS TODAY
