Lyrics
I saw you as the answer when you were the troublemaker
I perceived you as a solution when you were causing problems
You gave me heart disease for me to buy your pacemaker
You caused me emotional distress for me to try to fix and stabilize things
Easy for you to control when I was always the chaser
It was easy for you to manipulate when I was always pursuing
And now I have my eyes open, looking for something greater
Now I am aware and searching for something more meaningful
Everything was a problem
Every aspect was problematic
Everything was not okay
Nothing was fine
You wanted my opinion
You sought my opinion, yet controlled what I could express
When you control the things I say
I had no freedom in what I say
Tried to sleep more, was the only way to getaway
Attempted to sleep more as an escape
I know tomorrow it's gonna be like yesterday
Anticipating tomorrow to be like the repetitive yesterday
I gave you everything now I am broken
I gave my all and now I am emotionally shattered
Too toxic and I couldn't even see that coming
Realized the toxicity too late
I had no chance but to leave things unspoken
Had no choice but to leave things unsaid
Cause I didn't want more fighting
Avoided further conflict
Grow up
Encouraging maturity and moving past superficial aspirations
Grow up
-Forget about the glow up
-I drove two fucking hours
Expressing frustration by going to great lengths for someone who doesn't reciprocate
Just to wait for you to show up
-I tried to make a difference
Attempted positive influence and change, but unsuccessful
I tried to make you good
-But you don't grow up
Reiterating the need for maturity
Grow up
-Grow up
-What kind of couple were we
Reflecting on a tumultuous relationship and questioning the ex-partner's identity
Just fighting and sex didn't work for me
-Now that you're my ex, so easy to see
-When I look at you, who the fuck is she
-I came out of this with my head all fucked up
Struggling with the aftermath, learning to let go, and rejecting blame
I tried everything for us not to break up
-But I had to learn it was time to give up
-You tried to blame me so just shut the fuck up
-You say I didn't wanna talk
Communication issues and the desire for a partner who respects individual opinions
But you're the one that didn't listen
-I wanna be with someone
-That respects that I can have my own opinion
-Before you judge
Recognizing personal mistakes but asserting a willingness to move on
I know my mistakes
-And I do admit
-If could erase you out of my mind
-I wouldn't think twice
-Ignorance is bliss
Highlighting the negative aspects of the ex-partner
And you ain't that good of a prize
-Grow up
Repeating the call to mature and move on
Grow up
-Forget about the glow up
-I drove two fucking hours
Emphasizing the frustration of waiting for an unresponsive partner
Just to wait for you to show up
-I tried to make a difference
Failed attempts at positive change in the relationship
I tried to make you good
-But you don't grow up
Reiteration of the ex-partner's lack of maturity
Grow up
-Grow up
-Easy to say I was wrong yeah
Challenges the perception of wrongdoing and unacknowledged efforts
Easy to say I was bad
-You never saw all my effort
-So easier to get mad
-Grow up
Continued emphasis on the need for maturity and moving forward
Grow up
-Forget about the glow up
-I drove two fucking hours
Frustration at the effort put into waiting for an unresponsive partner
Just to wait for you to show up
-I tried to make a difference
Repeating the unsuccessful attempts at positive change
I tried to make you good
-But you don't grow up
Final call to maturity and moving on from the past
Grow up
-Grow up
