Growing Pains

[Intro] [Verse 1] The mirror’s a stranger, my jeans don’t fit right, My voice cracks a chorus in the d**d of the night. The hallway’s a runway, but I trip when I walk, A puzzle-piece person, but the edges won’t lock. [Chorus] Oh, these growin’ pains ain’t a sign you’re wrong, Just a slow dance where your heart’s learnin’ its song. You don’t gotta rewrite the name you’ve been given, Sometimes the road bends before you start livin’. [Verse 2] I tried on laughter, but it felt like a costume, Fumbled through fads just to fill up the room. The world’s got its whispers, “Why can’t you conform?” But my bones are still buildin’ through this awkward storm. [Chorus] Oh, these growin’ pains ain’t a sign you’re wrong, Just a slow dance where your heart’s learnin’ its song. You don’t gotta rewrite the name you’ve been given, Sometimes the road bends before you start livin’. [Bridge] It’s not the stars you’re missin’, it’s the dust on your boots, Ain’t no race to the finish, just a seed chasin’ roots. The days stretch like shadows, but they’ll settle in time, You’re a sapling, not a weed—you’re right on the line. [Chorus] Oh, these growin’ pains ain’t a sign you’re wrong, Just a slow dance where your heart’s learnin’ its song. You don’t gotta rewrite the name you’ve been given, Sometimes the road bends before you start livin’. [Outro]
