Lyrics
Why can't I grow up?
Expressing frustration or a desire to mature emotionally and mentally.
Stop feeling like I'm stuck
Feeling trapped or stagnant in personal growth and development.
Guessing now that I was wrong
Reflecting on past assumptions and realizing they were incorrect.
I'd find a place where I belong
Seeking a sense of belonging and a place that feels right.
And come by naturally
Desiring a natural progression in life without external pressures.
No one cares I've tried to be
Expressing a sense of isolation or neglect despite efforts to be more.
More than cause for sympathy
Feeling overlooked or underestimated, questioning the need for sympathy.
So why should I grow up?
Raising the question of the necessity or desirability of growing up.
Why can't I grow up?
Repeating the desire or frustration of not being able to grow up.
Guess it's just my luck
Attributing the perceived lack of growth to luck or unfortunate circumstances.
Feeling like a kid inside
Internal conflict, feeling like a child despite external expectations.
Doesn't chance to coincide
Not experiencing personal growth coinciding with external changes.
With bones as old as mine
Highlighting the contradiction of feeling young despite aging.
It still feels like mortal sin
Describing a sense of guilt or wrongdoing associated with staying youthful.
to say that I'll be giving in
Resisting the idea of giving in to societal expectations or norms.

Say it's not my fault

Repeating the question of why growing up seems unattainable.
