Story Behind The Song

Growing up

Song Description

Growing Pains while going through life with little guidance

Lyrics

Verse 1
Lip gloss fading on the bathroom sink
Writing down secrets that I'll never speak
Momma says "baby, you're just seventeen"
But I feel the weight of the in-betweens

Pre-Chorus
Hearts get broken, rules get bent
Every scar is just the evidence
Of a girl who's learning how to stand
With the world inside her hands

Chorus
Oh these growing pains, they cut like fire
Turn the tears into something higher
Every fall, I'm closer to who I am
Dancing through the hurt, I'll do it again
Ooo, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
These are just my, just my, just my growing pains

Verse 2
Best friends turning into strangers fast
First love fading like a photograph
Dreams too loud for a quiet town
But I'm not letting them pull me down

Pre-Chorus
Hearts get broken, rules get bent
Every night turns into evidence
That I'm stronger every single day
Finding beauty in the ache

Chorus
Oh these growing pains, they cut like fire
Turn the tears into something higher
Every fall, I'm closer to who I am
Dancing through the hurt, I'll do it again
Ooo, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
These are just my, just my, just my growing pains

Bridge
One day I'll look back and smile
At the girl who walked that mile
Every bruise, every tear, every lesson taught
Made the woman I become, every dream I caught

Final Chorus
Oh these growing pains, they cut like fire
Turn the tears into something higher
Every fall, I'm closer to who I am
Dancing through the hurt, I'll do it again
Ooo, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
These are just my, just my, just my growing pains

Outro (Hook)
Na-na-na, I'm not afraid
Na-na-na, these growing pains
Na-na-na, they made me brave
These are just my, just my, just my growing pains
