I told 'em all to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
Said I’m done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my band and a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I cry just a little then I'll dry my eyes
‘Cause I’m not a little girl no more
[Chorus:]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
[Verse:]
Stood in line for so long just to picket
Something I will never understand
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world
Won’t you just admit you don’t care?
Lady I don’t want your pity
So don’t feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we’re both just living out our dreams
[Chorus:]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
[Verse:]
We get along for the most part
Me in reality, to lighten the dark
We live alone
In two different worlds
Me in a fantasy
And you in your memories
But we get along
[Bridge:]
We get along
For the most part!
We get along
Yea, for the most part!
We get along
For the most part!
We get along
We get along
We get along
[Chorus: X2]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
