Growing Down Lyrics

He doesn't know what's wrong, it's been this way for much too long,
And nothing could be easier than blaming this on her.
Kicking in the womb, she brings it up, he leaves the room.
Walk away, all he has to say "you got what you deserve".
It's your fault, I don't think that it's even mine,
And I guess there's not much in his little mind.
It's a shame when it happens every day.

He doesn't stop to think that every bottle that he drinks
Is just an additive to ignorance, hence problems that exist.
Lay down on the bed, dream of glory days instead.
Not egocentric attitudes, solved problems with a fist.
I don't understand how he can get so mad.
She don't want it either, but it's too late Dad.
It's not right, and I know next time you'll think twice.

Pretend that they're lovers but she feels like a slave,
How could he even know?
She's sinking to the bottom and he can't feel her pain.
Too late, 'cause the seeds were sown.
Growing down instead of up where you belong,
Always weak when you're requested to be strong.
It's a shame when it happens everyday.

You're growing down.
You're growing down.
