  • I told 'em all where to stick it
    I left town with a dime to my name
    I said, I'm done with all of my fake friends
    Self-righteous pawns in a losing game

    Got my band and a light that won't go out
    Been burning since the day I was born
    So I cry just a little then I'll dry my eyes
    'Cause I'm not a little girl no more

    Some of us have to grow up sometimes
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
    Some of us have to grow up sometimes
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind

    Stood in line for so long just to picket
    Something I will never understand
    Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
    Won't you just admit you don't care?

    And lady, I don't want your pity
    So don't feel sad for me
    I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
    Maybe we're both just living out our dream

    And some of us have to grow up sometimes
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
    Some of us have to grow up sometimes
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind

    We get along for the most part
    Me and reality, the light and the dark
    We live alone, two different worlds
    Me in a fantasy, you in your memories
    But we get along

    We get along
    (For the most part)
    We get along
    (Yeah, for the most part)
    We get along
    (For the most part)
    We get along

    We get along
    We get along

    Some of us have to grow up sometimes
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
    Some of us have to grow up sometimes
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)

    Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up, never grow old)
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
    Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up, never grow old)
    And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind Writer/s: Hayley Nichole Williams, Taylor York
