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
