"I'm trouble" she said<br>
Spread out on the floor of her father's house
Spread out on the floor of her father's house<br>
 
Her promise was almost undone<br>
Her promise was almost undone
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities<br>
 
To finally deny everyone with every unflattering comparison<br>
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities
<br>
 
{{Chorus}}:<br>
To finally deny everyone with every unflattering comparison
All grown up<br>
 
And you don't care anymore<br>
 
And you hate all the people that you used to adore<br>
 
And you despise all the rumours and lies of the life you led before<br>
''Chorus:''
<br>
 
Did I hear you right?<br>
All grown up
You're feeling hounded and pushed around<br>
 
You want to just lay down and die<br>
And you don't care anymore
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you<br>
 
Why don't you stop blaming some guy<br>
And you hate all the people that you used to adore
And go give the next one a try<br>
 
<br>
And you despise all the rumours and lies of the life you led before
{{Chorus}}<br>
 
<br>
 
But look at yourself<br>
 
You'll see you're still so young<br>
Did I hear you right?
You haven't earned the weariness<br>
 
That sounds so jaded on your tongue<br>
You're feeling hounded and pushed around
<br>
 
"I'm weak" she says<br>
You want to just lay down and die
And blesses herself and gets into bed<br>
 
Clutching the covers to her throat<br>
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you
"So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life"<br>
 
"This night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that you wrote"<br>
Why don't you stop blaming some guy
<br>
 
{{Chorus}}<br>
And go give the next one a try
<br>
 
But look at yourself<br>
 
You'll see you're still so young<br>
 
You haven't earned the weariness<br>
''Chorus''
That sounds so jaded on your tongue<br>
 
 
 
But look at yourself
 
You'll see you're still so young
 
You haven't earned the weariness
 
That sounds so jaded on your tongue
 
 
 
"I'm weak" she says
 
And blesses herself and gets into bed
 
Clutching the covers to her throat
 
"So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life"

lyrics for
All Grown Up

"I'm trouble" she said
Spread out on the floor of her father's house
Her promise was almost undone
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities
To finally deny everyone with every unflattering comparison

(chorus):
All grown up
And you don't care anymore
And you hate all the people that you used to adore
And you despise all the rumours and lies of the life you led before

Did I hear you right?
You're feeling hounded and pushed around
You want to just lay down and die
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you
Why don't you stop blaming some guy
And go give the next one a try

(chorus)

But look at yourself
You'll see you're still so young
You haven't earned the weariness
That sounds so jaded on your tongue

"I'm weak" she says
And blesses herself and gets into bed
Clutching the covers to her throat
"So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life"
"This night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that you wrote"

(chorus)

But look at yourself
You'll see you're still so young
You haven't earned the weariness
That sounds so jaded on your tongue
