Grow Up
By Nghia Nguyen
Grow up, they always said Stop lying there in your bed Pretending you know about love and life Pretending you understand about pain and strife You're only a teen, what troubles could you have? You're only a child, why in the hell would you be sad? Grow up, they always said You act as though you're already dead You are only 16 years old You can't possibly have told The world anything important at all You act as though you live to fall Grow up, they always said Your problems are all in your head Go into the world, enjoy the days Clear your head, forget your "pains" Grow up, they always said... Grow up... I think that they ought to grow up Just thinking of what they've got to say makes me want to throw up Just because we're teens, doesn't mean we don't know anything at all Just because we're young, doesn't mean we can't fall Just because we're children, doesn't mean they can boss us around Just because we're naught but pups, doesn't mean we belong in the pound Grow up, they always said... Live your life... you are not yet dead Grow up, we were always told... Be a kid, you're only 16 years old Grow up, it's something all children hear... Stop being depressed, enjoy the young years Grow up, they always said... Live your life... you are not yet dead Grow up, because there's life beyond these school walls Someone will always be there to pick you up everytime you fall Grow up, because there's no reason to cry Why do so many children live in order to die? Grow up, because there's a reason to live Share your feelings, you've got alot of love to give Grow up, because this isn't right Why stress yourself before you sleep at night? Grow up, this is only the beginning You've much to live for, and plenty to be giving Grow up, you've alot to learn Respect and love, is something you must earn Grow up, this is the end of my advice You'll be okay... everything will be alright. |
