Twenty candles on the cake
Yellow cabs and vintage gowns
I could've used a friend
When you came around

Watched me lose my world
So you gave me yours
Said nothing's gonna hurt you now
Kissed me and you said I was so mature
Thought I had it figured out

Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups, growing up
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were having fun
I was way too young

New city all alone
My parents broke our home
Thought I was so independent
Rewrite the story every time I tell it

I was just a kid
Couldn't even drink
Younger than your son is now
Does it make you sick
Did you really think I'd never say the words out loud
Thought I wouldn't find you out

Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups, growing up
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were having fun
I was way too young

How could you be having fun
I was way too young
How could you be having fun
I was way too young

You were not a white knight
You were just a man
Now I'm finally old enough
To fucking understand

I wasn't an old soul
I was just a kid
How do you sleep at night
Knowing what you did

Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups, growing up
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were having fun
I was way too young

Watched me lose my world
So you gave me yours
Said nothing's gonna hurt you now
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were having fun
I was way too young
