Growing up

[Verse 1] Ever since I was just a kid, Always knew what you did. Watched you drive away, While he cried with thoughts of yesterday. Never knew when you'd come around this town, Left me wondering what I’d do, Never could look up to you. [Pre-Chorus] Time passed, and then I grew, Tried to see inside of you. But you never let me in, Not enough memories to begin. [Chorus] I just want a break, I just want to be noticed, I just want to be loved, To be worth it for someone, not just shoved. Why is everyone so fake, fake, fake? Running on empty, living with ache. [Verse 2] Always knew how to play it cool, All my friends thought there were no rules. Never asked about the simple things, Never taught me how to spread my wings. I just wanted to be seen, Wanted you to say you’re proud of me. [Bridge] Now I'm left here thinking as I lay down my head, If I’d never felt that heartbreak so young, Would I still be risking my mind, holding on? Will I ever find the love I’ve been looking for? Will I know how to embrace it before I hit the floor? [Chorus] I just want a break, I just want to be noticed, I just want to be loved, To be worth it for someone, not just shoved. Why is everyone so fake, fake, fake? Running on empty, living with ache. [Break] He taught me all the good I know, How to be true, how to grow. But the question still remains… [Drop/Outro] Why does everyone abandon me in the end? I’m let down, time and time again. Everyone’s just take, take, take, And I’m left here, trying not to break.
