Growing Pains

Why you scolding me

Release your hold of me

You can't control me

Me,

hey yeah

Told you all your actions

Would reveal all your flaws

Time and time again

I've had to build up my walls

Ooh

She's just a distraction for the pain that you've caused

You give me your shame

Cause you realized you're a fraud

So let me hear you out

You're not one to blame

Say what you mad about

After you call me out my name

And then you mock me for my trauma

Made me hate my mama

Still you lie

Don't put your hands on me

First I lost my mind and then you made me leave

Who you tryin to appease

You put me in a new direction

Helped with my reflection, now I'm fine

Look

You give your love with greed

You take what you want

But don't give me what I need

I'll be on my way

Just let me grieve in peace

Let me grieve in peace

Let me grieve in peace

Uh

Told you all your actions

Would reveal all your flaws

Time and time again

I've had to build up my walls

Ooh

She's just a distraction for the pain that you've caused

You give me your shame

Cause you realized you're a fraud

Well it's been two years now

Do you wonder how I've been

How can you live without getting love from your kin

But I know you were just a lesson turned into a blessing

For my mind

But now it's clear to me - you will never change

You're your own worst enemy

And I will always get the blame

So I'll excuse your behavior

Let you misportray her

While you stay the same

Ooh

Told you all your actions

Would reveal all your flaws

Time and time again

I've had to build up my walls

Ooh

She's just a distraction for the pain that you've caused

You give me your shame

Cause you realized you're a fraud
