"Growing Pains" lyrics

I want to thank you for the pain
Without the tears, I might have never changed
Not at all
And every time you're in my face
A little light goes on inside my brain
Who'd have thought?

I feel the burning heartache
I feel it in my skin and bones
And I used to be scared
But now that I know...

They're just growing pains
Soon they'll go away
If I hang on tight and focus
Picture better days
They're just growing pains
Soon they'll go away
If I hang on tight and focus
They'll be gone and I won't notice
Growing pains
Growing pains

You can tie my up in knots
Or pull me down to make me think
You've got this superpower
And every word is like a shot
Doesn't hurt cause I can turn your bullets into flowers

I feel the burning heartache
I feel it in my skin and bones
And I used to be scared
But now that I know...

They're just growing pains
Soon they'll go away
If I hang on tight and focus
Picture better days
They're just growing pains
Soon they'll go away
If I hang on tight and focus
They'll be gone and I won't notice
Growing pains
Growing pains

You pointed a gun
I didn't run
I'm not afraid of anyone
So call me dumb
I'll stare at the sun
Oh, here's my lesson
Yeah, I'll bleed, I'll break, I'll burn

They're just growing pains
Soon they'll go away
If I hang on tight and focus
Picture better days
They're just growing pains
Soon they'll go away
If I hang on tight and focus
They'll be gone and I won't notice
Growing pains
Growing pains
