It's alright 
to tell me 
what you think 
about me
I won't try 
to argue 
or hold it 
against you
I know that 
you're leaving 
you must have 
your reasons
The season 
is calling 
and your pictures 
are falling down

The steps that 
I retrace 
the sad look 
on your face
The timing 
and structure 
did you hear 
he fucked her?
A day late 
a buck short 
I'm writing 
the report
On losing 
and failing 
when I move 
I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well I guess this is growing up

And maybe 
I'll see you 
at a movie 
sneak preview
You'll show up 
and walk by 
on the arm 
of that guy
And I'll smile 
and you'll wave 
we'll pretend 
it's okay
The charade 
it won't last 
when he's gone 
I won't come back

And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up [4x]
Well, I guess this is growing up
