growing pains

I was just a kid when the lights found me
Chasing bigger dreams than my eyes could see
I've been learning to swim while I'm lost at sea
But I'll rise, yeah, I'll rise

I left home behind when I was just 18
Poured my soul into the stage, thinking who I'll be
And I've stumbled and fell, but I still believe
I'll survive, I'll survive

Baby, I'll be okay
Living in this violet haze
One day, I'll understand that I'm good as I am
I'm finding my way, dealing with these growing pains

I'll be okay
'Cause I know that in time, I'll change
All the strength I've found, yeah, I'm still standing now
I'm finding my way, dealing with these growing pains

I've been crawling through fire just to find my feet
And I know everyone at home is still so proud of me
All the miles that I've run chasing destiny
I'll be fine, I'll be fine

'Cause I've stumbled through dreams and all of these hotels
Trying to find a different person, but I'm someone else
Now the chains of my past, baby, can't you tell?
They ain't holding me, oh

Baby, I'll be okay
Living in this violet haze
One day, I'll understand that I'm good as I am
I'm finding my way, dealing with these growing pains

I'll be okay
'Cause I know that in time, I'll change
All the strength I've found, yeah, I'm still standing now
I'm finding my way, dealing with these growing pains

(Oh) ah-ah
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Dealing with these growing pains

Ah (oh-whoa, whoa), ah
Ah-ah-oh
