Sometimes I wonder whether me when I was younger
Would like the person that I've become
'Cause first impressions tend to last through adolescence
And she still kinda hates everyone

You and I aren't so different
Hindsight has perfect vision
You don't even know all the places that you'll go
But I'm sorry that you feel so alone

Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse
When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works
Maybe we're just like flowers starting down in the dirt
Everyone calls them growing pains because we know the hurt

Sometimes I question when I look at my reflection
If the person looking back is really me (is really me)
A couple years spent learning how to disappear
A couple more spent learning what I could be

You and I aren't so different
Hindsight has perfect vision
You don't even know all the places that you'll go
But I'm sorry that you feel so alone

Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse
When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works
Maybe we're just like flowers starting down in the dirt
Everyone calls them growing pains because we know the hurt

I can't help myself from faking a smile
Hard to break an old habit you've had for a while
I don't wanna be any worse than me
Sometimes it's hard to believe

Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse
When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works
Maybe we're just like flowers starting down in the dirt
Everyone calls them growing pains because we know the hurt
