I told 'em all where 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 little then I'll dry 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

Stood in line for so long, it's a 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 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

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 and the dark
And we live alone
In two different worlds
Me and a fantasy,
And you and your memories
But we get along

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

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)

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
