Growing Up (Divided By Friday)

I thought that I could fit your mold, That I could muster up some self control I got lost somewhere between, Who I am and what you expect of me. And I could be alive and barely living, But I'd rather take a risk that's worth remembering, 'Cause I could find a million reasons Why I won't go on deceiving myself. Life's short and I don't want to be Too afraid to fall asleep If growing up is just because That's what they think it takes to be someone, I'd rather be myself. Time is never on my side I've got a lot to give But I won't give my life I don't expect to blend in with A world that's so caught up with this, Fitting in with everyone You lose yourself and when you're done, It all comes caving in You're covered up in what you could have been Sinking in solitude, And they'll all forget you As for myself, I'm sure I could figure it out on my own. If growing up is just because That's what they think it takes to be someone, I'd rather be myself. Time is never on my side I've got a lot to give But I won't give my life And I am not the only one I'm gonna give my all And I know that I will fly But, not before I fall I will never be ashamed of who I am. If growing up is just because That's what they think it takes to be someone, I'd rather be myself. Time is never on my side I've got a lot to give But I won't give my life Time is never on my side I've got a lot to give But I won't give (I won't give) my life
