Inskeep said in a tiktok before releasing the song:
“I feel like obviously we all grow up from an age perspective, that’s inevitable, but this is really just an ode and an encouragement and empowerment to the people that decided to step up to the plate and do the work and become the best version of...
[Verse 1]
I’ve been sleeping less and drinking more
I’ve been tracing circles in the floor
I’ve been feeling things I can’t ignore
But I still try to
[Verse 2]
I’ve been holding on to old regrets
Wish I could unsay some things I said
I can’t burn ’em down like cigarettes
But I still try to
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I can’t reason with the reasons
But somewhere in my heart I keep believing
[Chorus]
Finding yourself can be really hard
To lose who you were to be who you are
And all this hurting
Is one day gonna serve its purpose
Sometimes you fly and sometimes you fall
But somewhere on the other side of it all
Is where you discover
You can’t have one without the other
A heart that beats means it breaks
And growing up means growing pains
[Verse 3]
And I know I’m not the only one
But it feels like I’m the only one
Who has so much road they need to run
To get where they’re going
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I can’t reason with the reasons
But somewhere in my heart I keep believing, believing
[Chorus]
Finding yourself can be really hard
To lose who you were to be who you are
And all this hurting
Is one day gonna serve its purpose
Sometimes you fly and sometimes you fall
But somewhere on the other side of it all
Is where you discover
You can’t have one without the other
A heart that beats means it breaks
And growing up means growing pains
[Bridge]
Let it hurt, let it hurt, let it hurt
Let it break, let it break, let it break
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
That’s how it goes, growing up, growing pains
Let it hurt, let it hurt, let it hurt
Let it break, let it break, let it break
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
That’s how it goes, growing up, growing pains
[Outro]
A heart that beats means it breaks
And growing up means growing pains
