[Intro – light tension, pulsing synth]
(Upupupupupup)
Silent treatment
Isolation
Oh…
Have you really lost control?
(Upupupupupup)
Verse 1
You shut me out, then pull me close
Push the blame like it’s all I know
Every word turns into a fight
But you never stop to see my side
You point the finger, raise your voice
Like I never had a choice
But I’m done carrying the weight
Of every mistake you won’t face
[Pre-Chorus building]
I’ve been quiet, I’ve been small
Trying not to start a war
But I can’t be who I was
Not anymore
[Chorus anthemic, melodic, sweet but strong]
You need to grow up
Up, up, up, up
Learn what love is really about
You need to grow up
Up, up
Take responsibility now
You can’t control me anymore
I’ve found my own way through the door
Your holding on, but I’m moving free
That kind of love’s not meant for me
Verse 2
Every silence hits too hard
Every distance pulls us apart
You say you’re right, I’m always wrong
But this has been going on too long
I gave you patience, gave you time
Tried to read between your lines
But growing up means facing truth
Not bending it to fit your view
[Pre-Chorus bigger]
I won’t stay where I can’t breathe
Won’t shrink just to keep the peace
I’m stronger now, I finally see
What I need
[Chorus bigger, stadium-ready]
You need to grow up
Up, up, up, up
Learn what love is really about
You need to grow up
Up, up
Take responsibility now
You can’t control me anymore
I know what I’m fighting for
Your fear won’t keep a hold on me
That kind of love’s not meant for me
[Bridge (stripped → rise]
Maybe one day you’ll understand
What you lost trying to command
I don’t hate you, I just won’t stay
In a love that fades this way
[drums pause → big build]
[Final Chorus (biggest, hopeful]
You need to grow up
Up, up, up, up
Let go of the need to control
You need to grow up
Up, up
Learn how to love someone whole
You can’t control me anymore
I’m stronger than I was before
I’m walking out, I’m finally free
This life is bigger than what you gave me
[Outro soft but resolved]
Silent treatment
Isolation
Oh…
You really lost control
But
I didn’t lose myself at all
