It's alright 
to tell me 
what you think 
about me 
I won't try
to argue 
or hold it 
against you 
I know that
you're leaving
you must have
your reasons
The season 
is calling
your pictures are 
falling down 
The steps that 
I retrace 
The sad look
on your face 
The timing 
and [bad word] Did you hear
he [bad word] her
day late 
a buck short
I'm writing 
the report
On losing and failing 
When I move 
I'm flailing now 

And it's happened once again 
I'll turn to a friend 
Someone that understands 
Sees through the master plan 
But everybody's gone 
and I've been here for too long 
To face this on my own 

Well I guess this is growing up 
Well I guess this is growing up 

And maybe
I'll see you
at a movie
sneak preview 
you'll show up
and walk by
on the arm
of that guy
And I'll smile
and you'll wave
we'll pretend 
it's okay 
The charade
it won't last
when he's gone 
I [bad word] back 

And it's happened once again 
You'll turn to a friend 
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone 
and you've been here for too long 
To face this on your own 

Well I guess this is growing up
