[Verse 1]
Twenty candles on the cake
Yellow cabs and vintage gowns
I could've used a friend
When you came around
Watched me lose my world
So you gave me yours
Said, "Nothing's gonna hurt you now"
Kissed me and you said I was so mature
Thought I had it figured out

[Chorus]
Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups, growin' up?
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun
I was way too young

[Verse 2]
New city all alone
My parents broke our home
Thought I was so independent
Rewrite the story every time I tell it
I was just a kid
Couldn't even drink
Younger than your son is now
Does it make you sick?
Did you really think I'd never say the words out loud?
Thought I wouldn't find you out
[Chorus]
Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups, growin' up?
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun
I was way too young

[Pre-Chorus]
How could you be havin' fun?
I was way too young
How could you be havin' fun?
I was way too young

[Bridge]
You were not a white knight
You were just a man
Now I'm finally old enough
To fuckin' understand
I wasn't an old soul
I was just a kid
How do you sleep at night
Knowin' what you did

[Outro]
Made me feel so grown up, grown up
Where were all the grown ups, growin' up?
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun
I was way too young
Watched me lose my world
So you gave me yours
Said, "Nothing's gonna hurt you now"
Now that I'm a grown up, grown up
I don't get how you were havin' fun
I was way too young
