Today I'm gonna write a sad song

Gonna make it really long


So that everyone can see


That I'm very unhappy




I wish I wasn't always wrong


I wish it wasn't always my fault

The finger that you're pointing


Has knocked me on my knees




And all you need to know is


I'm so sorry


It's not like me

It's maturity that I'm lacking





So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know


That growing up goes slow




I wonder what my mom and dad would say


If I told them that I cry each day


It's hard enough to live so far away




I wish I wasn't always cold


I wish I wasn't always alone

When the party is over


How will I get home?




And all you need to know is


I'm so sorry


It's not like me

It's maturity that I'm lacking





So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know


That growing up goes slow




If all the rules were meant to bend


And you swore you were my friend

Now I have to start all over again




'Cause no one's going to take your place

And I'm scared I'll never save


All the pieces of love we made




And I'm so sorry

It's not like me

It's maturity that I'm lacking




So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know


That I can slip and fall



And you won't let me go


Just let me know

That growing up goes slow



And I'm so sorry


It's not like me

It's maturity that I'm lacking




So don't, don't let me go

Just let me know

That growing up goes slow
