[Verse 1] In this place where I live Where I was born, where I've grown Made a world of my own, a world you'll never know Going back to my past, daddy yells all the time Kept alone, rarely smiled, made a little boy shy [Chorus] Growing up, feeling down, feeling scared, it's for real Run away, get away, find a place you can heal [Verse 2] Music got to my head, it was always around When I stayed in my room, heard those comforting sounds Made me fly, made me smile, made me feel so proud Covered me, made me drown in the talent I'd found [Bridge] Making sounds, writing songs, dreams of what you can be There's no pain, only hope, will you ever be free
[Verse 3] Getting older each day (Give up! Get out!) With so much on my mind (My head, blacks out!) And it's growing inside (Burns out! Burst out!) Feelings I cannot hide [Chorus] Growing up, feeling down, feeling scared, it's for real Run away, get away, find a place you can heal [Verse 4] In this place where I live, where I was born, where I've grown Made a world of my own, aworld you'll never know I was feeling so lonely, Iguess I'll always be I wish it was only a dream, dizzy and confused feeling that has forever disappeared Going back to my past (Give up! Get out!) I was growing too fast (My head, blacks out!) Scared the nightmare will last
