When I Grow Up

I lit a fire to the bridges of the people that I love
I through them in the river & they never floated up
It got me really thinking would I sink or would I breathe
I got so much time for people who don't got no time for me

And it got me really thinking where I'll go when I grow old
Will my dad still see his kids or will I have some of my own?
Will my life be where I want it to be with all my goals?
Will my wife be living happy at the place that we call home?

When I grow up
Will I feel I done enough?
When I grow up
Will they remember who I was?
When I grow up
Will I become just old and grey
When I grow up I'm gonna change
When I grow up I'll go insane yeah

When I grow up I'm gonna write and tell my saddest stories
When I get old I'll play them back you'll think they're kinda boring
I've made mistakes before but I will never say I'm sorry
I lost my momma she ain't with me but I know she's watching
Everyday I wake up
Everyday I hate love
Asking why she broke my heart I know it didn't phase her
Tell me how can we live happy all we chase is paper?
Money don't bring happiness but maybe it will later

And it got me really thinking where I'll go when I grow old
Will my dad still see his kids or will I have some of my own?
Will my life be where I want it to be with all my goals?
Will my wife be living happy at the place that we call home?

When I grow up
Will I feel I done enough?
When I grow up
Will they remember who I was?
When I grow up
Will I become just old and grey
When I grow up I'm gonna change
When I grow up I'll go insane yeah

Yeh I feel like
Nobody understands
Yeh I feel like
Was this suppose to be the plan?
I don't know right
Time moves so slow
I had a bad couple of months I almost let myself go
But everyday I feel the same
I gotta change switching my lane
I gotta go don't need a plane
Let me just walk I'll find a way
Let me just go find myself
I'm walking through hell
Passed the old me down there & he wished me well

And it got me really thinking where I'll go when I grow old
Will my dad still see his kids or will I have some of my own?
Will my life be where I want it to be with all my goals?
Will my wife be living happy at the place that we call home?

When I grow up
Will I feel I done enough?
When I grow up
Will they remember who I was?
When I grow up
Will I become just old and grey
When I grow up I'm gonna change
When I grow up I'll go insane

Will they save me?
Or will I die alone
Will they help me?
Find my way home
Cause it feels like I've lost sight the older I grow
I've had a bad couple of months I'll still be here when I'm old

When I grow up
Will I feel I done enough?
When I grow up
Will they remember who I was?
When I grow up
Will I become just old and grey
When I grow up I'm gonna change
When I grow up I'll go insane yeah
