Cleveland Avenue - Growing Up Is Hard To Do Lyrics

Living up to expectations, I think about where I should be
Going forward without missing responsibilities
Putting on a show and thinking everyone should laugh
While I'm suffering in silence in my last draft

Thinking about how easy it would be for me
If I could just do things the same
Seeing everything I want can only be to blame
You are the same way

And I can't just fake it
I have to be the person that I am
Because life can throw so many things your way
And thinking there is nothing meant for you

Because growing up is hard to do
See you soon is not enough
The memories, they tear me up
They're close enough to kill me

But that's nothing new, so what
I'll tear it all down
And build a new foundation for us
This is how we start anew

Thinking about how easy it would be for me
If I could just do things the same
Seeing everything I want can only be to blame
You are the same way

And I can't just fake it
I have to be the person that I am
Because life can throw so many things your way
And thinking there is nothing meant for you

Because growing up is hard to do
Now I can see who I need to be
I won't go
I'll steady my sight

Prepare for the fight
Now I'll grow
And I can't just fake it
I have to be the person that I am

Because life can throw so many things your way
And thinking there is nothing meant for you
Because growing up is hard to do
Hard to do

Hard to do
