Twenty candles on the cake
Yellow cabs and vintage gowns
I could've used a friend
When you came around
Watched me lose my world, so you gave me yours
Said, "Nothing's gonna hurt you now"
Kissed me and you said I was so mature
Thought I had it figured out
Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups growin' up?
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun, I was way too young
New city, all alone
My parents broke our home
Thought I was so independent
Rewrite the story every time I tell it
I was just a kid, couldn't even drink
Younger than your son is now
Does it make you sick? Did you really think
I'd never say the words out loud?
Thought I wouldn't find you out
Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups growin' up?
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun, I was way too young
How could you be havin' fun? I was way too young
How could you be havin' fun? I was way too young
You were not a white knight, you were just a man
Now I'm finally old enough to fuckin' understand
I wasn't an old soul, I was just a kid
How do you sleep at night knowin' what you did?
Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups growin' up?
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun, I was way too young
Watched me lose my world, so you gave me yours
Said, "Nothing's gonna hurt you now"
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun, I was way too young
