I told him and to sick it
Out of town with a dime to my name
Said I'm done with all my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my bedroom right then woke you out
Been a burden since the day I was born
So I cried just little then I dried my eyes
'Cause I'm not a little girl no more

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

Certain life is so long as the picket
Something I will never understand
I'm too 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 sorry for me
I’ve got a lover would die for this song to sing
Maybe we're both just living out how I dream

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

We get along for the most part
Me and reality, the light in the dark
And we live alone
And two evil worlds
Be in a fantasy
With you and your memories

But we get along
We get along, for the most part!
We get along, yeah, for the most part!
We get along, for the most part!
We get along
We get along
We get along

Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (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)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
