[Verse 1]
So, I'm caught in the middle
Between a rock and hard place
Been feelin' a little
Like it's hard to be selfish
And I stare at the waves, hope they take me away and I know that's foolish
But I'd still do it
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm moving through stages in different places
The one thing that's constant are all of these changes
And I'm so impatient
Keep looking for ways to escape, but still
[Chorus]
Why is it so damn easy to fall?
I get up and then I fuck up again
And my heart is way too vulnerable
I just can't explain, must be growin' pains
[Verse 2]
Can't take a break
Do a little bit of this, say a little bit of that, yeah
A part of me is in a drеam, oh
Thought I always could have worked a bit harder
And I always could havе done a bit better
Now I know that I did what I could, I'll go so much further
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm moving through stages in different places
The one thing that's constant are all of these changes
And I'm so impatient
Keep looking for ways to escape, but still
[Chorus]
Why is it so damn easy to fall?
I get up and then I fuck up again
And my heart is way too vulnerable
I just can't explain, must be growin' pains
[Bridge]
I'm moving through stages in different places
The one thing that's constant are all of these changes
(Oh why?)
[Chorus]
Why is it so damn easy to fall?
I get up and then I fuck up again
And my heart is way too vulnerable
I just can't explain, must be growin' pains
