Growing Pains lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tear-stained carpet, white-knuckled grip
I can't forget him or forgive what he did
I thought I loved you, but I can't take another hit
It's only been six weeks and I'm already like this

[Verse 2]
You took me out and taught me how to skate
With blood on my knees, I told you I would be okay
But you knew nothing's that easy
So you said yes when I asked you to stay
'Cause for the first time in a long time
I don't want you to go away

[Chorus]
I hate that I can't love you, but I'm just in the way
But you say I won't be here forever
And you'll wait as long as it takes

[Verse 3]
Steal away to meet you when the moon is full
Wearing shoes that don't even fit me
Hoping you'll think I look cool, I hope you do
I hope you know that I think you look f*cking cool
Staying up to see you when you get off of work
But you leave without touching me
And you don't know just how bad it hurts
When I dreamed for weeks of you being my first
[Chorus]
I hate that I can't love you, but I'm just in the way
But you say I won't be here forever
And you'll wait as long as it takes
