Growing Pains Lyrics - Alessia Cara

[Verse 1] 

Make my way through the motions 

I try to ignore it 

But home's looking farther 

The closer I get 

Don't know why 

I can't see the end 

Is it over yet? 

A short leash 

And a short fuse don't match 

They tell me it ain't that bad 

Now don't you overreact 

So I just hold my breath 

Don't know why 

I can't see the sun 

When young should be fun

[Pre-Chorus] 

And I guess the bad 

Can get better 

Gotta be wrong 

Before it's right 

Every happy phrase 

Engraved in my mind 

And I've always been a go-getter 

There's truth 

In every word I write 

But still the growing pains, growing pains 

They're keeping me up at night 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

And I can't hide, 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

And I can't hide, 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night 

[Verse 2] 

Try to mend what's left of my content 

Incomprehension 

As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made 

Don't know if 

I should even care for grown 

If it's just alone 

[Pre-Chorus] 

And I guess the bad 

Can get better 

Gotta be wrong 

Before it's right 

Every happy phrase 

Engraved in my mind 

And I've always been a go-getter 

There's truth 

In every word I write 

But still the growing pains, growing pains 

They're keeping me up at night 

[Chorus] 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

And I can't hide, 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

And I can't hide, 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night 

[Bridge] 

Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all 

Can't take her own advice 

Can't find pieces of peace of mind, I cry 

More than I'd like to admit but I can't lie to myself, to anyone 

'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun 

Can't run back to my youth the way I want to 

The days my brother was quicker to fool 

AM radio, not much to do 

Used monsters as an excuse 

To lie awake 

Now the monsters are the ones that 

I have to face 

No bandaids for the growing pains
