Today I'm gonna write a sad song
I'm gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see
That I'm very unhappy

I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
The finger which your pointing has knocked me on my knees
So I guess what's only left is...

I'm sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that to grow up and go slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say
If I told them that I cry each day
And it's hard enough to live so far away

I wish I wasn't always alone
I wish it wasn't always so cold
When the party is over how will I get home?
And all you need to know is

I'm sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that to grow up and go slow

All the rules are meant to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again

But I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Oh let me know that to grow up and go slow
