growing pains

Tear-stained carpet, white-knuckled grip
I can't forget him or forgive what he did
I thought I loved you, but I can't take another hit
It's only been six weeks and I 'm already like this

You took me out and taught me how to skate
With blood on my knees, I told you I would be ok
But you knew nothing's that easy
So you said yes when I asked you to stay
'Cause for the first time in a long time
I don't want you to go away

I hate that I can't love you
But I'm just in the way
But you say I won't be here forever
And you'll wait as long as it takes
