So This Is Growing Up?

Last night we cried

Today we died

Honestly, I don't know

When will this work?

We've both been jerks

I hate fighting



You told me

That you love me

And Honestly, I don't know

If it's for sure

I know I feel it too



What can you do when

All life turns it's back again

Feeling you can't win

Why do we treat eachother this way?

Can't it be like then

When we held eachother and grinned

I have a feeling you'll give up once again



So this is growing up?

Why would you give it up?

Leave me laying

I'm dying here

If this is growing up

Why say you've had enough?

When growing means strengthening





What can you do when

All life turns it's back again

Feeling you can't win

Why do we treat eachother this way?

Can't it be like then

When we held eachother and grinned

I have a feeling you'll give up once again



Don't let this be pretend

The feelings will never end

The fire may be dying now

There will always be a spark

That will start again

Enough of playing pretend

Just stop playing these games





What can you do when

All life turns it's back again

Feeling you can't win

Why do we treat eachother this way?

Can't it be like then

When we held eachother and grinned

I have a feeling you'll give up once again



Don't give it up again, this life of yours will someday end

You'll regret giving up in the end

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Growing up never involves giving up, unless it is childish things, and I am no childish thing.  Sometimes you have to hurt yourself for others, I do it every day, tomorrow is another new day just like I always say, don't push me when you never know how it will end up.
