[Intro] [Slow, but gradually gets faster]
She looks like she’s so soft and sweet
Cute and petite
Taste like honey when you kiss her lips
Fragile like a doll and hair like silk
Eyes like the sky, so alluring and assuring
But…..she’s not
[Verse 1] [Fast tempo]
She’s been lied to and heartbroken
Used and abused, left all alone after she ran out of use
Drowned in tears and whiskey years, and she’s so fuckin tired
Of being tossed around and being let down
[Pre-Chorus]
So, she grew up
[Chorus] [Fast tempo]
So she grew up and quit backin down and playin around
Cuz she stayed so strong
And kept movin on cuz she knew her worth
And she knew that she shouldn’t just be expected to give birth
So she grew up
[Bridge] [Slow, but gradually gets faster]
Years of torture and abuse
Years of being lied to and used
Tired of being stabbed with guilt
All without tears spilt, trying to move on
To pass on all the trauma that’s been going on
But since when does that ever work
[Verse 2] [Fast Tempo]
She has scars and all the marks
They corrupt her dreams and all the things that’s she’s been trying to work out
But it keeps draggin her down
Into a suffocating embrace, that has decided her fate
And it’s a goddamn cycle that drowns everything out
Till there’s nothing but a word…
[Outro] [Slower, calmer tempo]
So she grew up
She stopped cryin and tryin
To gain everyone’s approval
Cuz all they did was use her
And all she did was try but
She had to say goodbye
But all she could do was
GROW UP
