today i'm gonna write a sad song 
gonna make it really long 
so that everyone can see 
that i'm very unhappy 
i wish i wasn't always wrong 
i wish it wasn't always my fault 
the finger that your pointing has knocked me on my knees 
and all you need to know is i'm so sorry 
it's not like me 
it's maturity that i'm lacking 
so don't, don't let me go 
just let me know that growing up goes slow. 

i wonder what my mom and dad would say 
if i told them that i cry each day 
it's hard enough to live so far away 
i wish i wasn't always cold 
i wish it wasn't always alone 
when the party is over how will i get home? 

and all you need to know is i'm so sorry 
it's not like me 
it's maturity that i'm lacking 
so don't, don't let me go 
just let me know that growing up goes slow. 

if all the rules are meant to bend 
and you swore you were my friend 
now i have to start all over again 
cause no one’s going to take your place 
and i'm scared i'll never save 
all the pieces of the love we made. 
and i'm so sorry, it's not like me 
it's maturity that i'm lacking 
so don't, don't let me go 
just let me know that i can slip and fall 
and you won't let me go just to let me know 
that growing up goes slow. 
and i'm so sorry, it's not like me! 
it's maturity that i'm lacking 
so don't, don't let me go 
just let me know that growing up goes slow.
