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
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 gogetter
there’s truth in every word i write
but still the growing pains growing pains
they’re keeping me up at night

starting to look like ms knowitall can’t take her own advice
can’t find pieces of my peace of mind
i cry more than i want 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 hey hey hey hey
oh yeah yeah yeah hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey
no no no bandaids for the growing pains
