Lyrics: Christina Perri. Lovestrong. Sad Song  .

Today I'm gonna write a sad song
Gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see
That I'm very unhappy

I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
The finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees

And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say
If I told them that I cry each day
It's hard enough to live so far away

I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
When the party is over
How will I get home?

And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

If all the rules were meant to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again

'Cause no one's going to take your place
And I'm scared I'll never save
All the pieces of love we made

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That I can slip and fall

And you won't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow
