Me Nd Adam - The More I Grow Up

In oh-nine i was seventeen
Bright eyed and my cut was clean
I had my whole damn life in front of me

I finished school and I ran like hell
To new orleans, met a southern belle
Spent a couple good years in ecstasy

But good things always fall apart
And hurt more the harder you try hard
I know, I've done it all before

Seems like the more she knew me
The less she'd hang around

Seems like the more I grow up
The more I get let down

I ditched the hurting and I headed north
To the city for a fresh new start
It was hard but the chaos made me feel something

Winter came and it was cold as hell
Huddled ‘round the oven warming ourselves
But spring came and the money dried up with our dreams

Cause good things always fall apart
And hurt more, the harder you try hard
I know, I've done it all before

Seems like the more I stand up
The more I get knocked down

Seems like the more I grow up
The more I get let down

Cut my losses and I headed south
In search of comfort in my old home town
Call it copping out, I needed calming down

Well, place of my youth just wasn't the same
Girls I knew had new last names
Sometimes the only thing that stays the same is change

Cause good things always fall apart
And hurt more, the harder you try hard
I know, I've done it all before

Seems like the more y'all know me
The less you hang around

Seems like the more I grow up
The more I get let down

Seems like the more I grow up
The more I get let down
