Growing Pains

No one will tell you about the limit they put on how long you can grieve
No one will warn you when you're winning, how heavy a lost love can be
They do not tell you about the friendships you'll lose once the lights are dimmed down
How humble you'll feel about your past bliss once the tables have turned around
But I wanna tell you I got through
The hardest of times on my own
I made some mistakes, I made a few
But I've learned that I am strong
And just because it hurts
Doesn't mean it isn't worth it
And even if it stings
It's just a temporary thing
I'm not saying that changing won't cost you love, won't make you cry
But it will all make sense
When the growing pains subside
Nothing can shield you from the silence, nights spent on his side of the bed
Praying for help to please stop crying, my life just got turned on its head
They fail to explain how complex love is, like why I mostly miss him as a friend
Or how big of a blow it was for my ego, that she might be better for him
But I wanna tell you I got through
The hardest of times on my own
I made some mistakes, I made a few
But I've learned that I am strong
And just because it hurts
Doesn't mean it isn't worth it
And even if it stings
It's just a temporary thing
And no one said that changing won't cost you love, won't make you cry
But it will all make sense
When the growing pains subside
And just because it hurts
Doesn't mean it isn't worth it
And even if it stings
It's just a temporary thing
And no one said that changing won't cost you love, won't make you cry
But it will all make sense
When the growing pains subside
