Lyric

Streetlights fading

A trembling flame about to die

Tears keep falling down my face and I don’t know why

Stars in a frozen sky

Clouds breaking, ready to fall

I taste the blood from my lips and the pain says it all

I thought that I was fine alone

But every night I want to scream until somebody hears

If growing up means throwing something precious away

Then let me stay a child forever—pure and unafraid

If being grown means hurting someone just to survive

Then let me stay a child forever—keeping every heart alive

Streetlights flicker

A dying spark losing its glow

Shattered pieces of my tears fall quietly below

Stars breaking into dust

Clouds heavy, ready to burst

I bite my trembling lip again until the pain feels worse

I thought that being alone was easier

But every night I want to cry and scream into the dark

If growing up means making sacrifices you regret

Then let me stay a child forever—fragile but honest

If being grown means pushing someone down to climb higher

Then let me stay a child forever—never setting hearts on fire

I thought that I was fine alone

But every night I want to scream as loud as I can

I thought that being strong meant solitude

But now I’m breaking and I don’t know who I am

If growing up means throwing something precious away

Then let me stay a child forever—pure and unafraid

If being grown means hurting someone just to survive

Then let me stay a child forever—keeping every heart alive

If growing up means losing what it means to feel real

Then let me stay a child forever—never learning how to kill

If being grown means stepping on someone to stand tall

Then let me stay a child forever—never hurting anyone at all
