GROW UP

we missed so many chances
we're not as young as we once were
you thought you'd find the things you wanted
now you're not so sure
so you look around to lay the blame
i'm the only one you see
so i'm the villain, i'm the wretch
you throw it all back at me

   grow up
   dammit open your eyes
   quit buying your own alibis
   grow up
   baby when will you see
   i can't fight your fights
   i'm not your shining knight
   that ain't on me

you can mourn your loss of innocence
it won't do you much good
i could apologize for the things I say
but i don't believe i should
part of me want to hold you
and tell you it's all right
part of me wants to call us fools
for trying to save this night

   repeat chorus

you cinderella your days away
conjure dragons for me to slay
i'm suppose to know the right things to say
that's just your fantasy

   repeat chorus

   i can't fight your fights
   i'm not your shining knight
   that ain't on me
