I wish I had the number to my younger self
I'd pick up the phone and say, "You're only twelve
And you've lost more than most people do
You don't know it now, but there's still more to lose

'Cause friends move away, and people get older
Your heart's gonna break over and over
You're not to blame, so don't blame yourself
I hope this helps"

You're gonna ask, "Why?"
You're gonna want answers
Gonna feel like no one ever understands
You're gonna think twice before you start praying
And wonder when the walls will stop caving
Hate to be the one to tell you this
But you'll be alright, kid

I wish you knew the feeling wasn't permanent
I wish you knew your brother would come back again
And time does heal, but don't heal everything
If you knew it now, who you were gonna be

You might care less about what they think
Stop trying to impress the people who leave
It scares you to death, but don't take it hard
'Cause I know you are

You're gonna ask, "Why?"
You're gonna want answers
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you
You're gonna think twice before you start praying
And wonder when the walls will stop caving
Hate to be the one to tell you this
But you'll be alright

Growing up's not easy
But it's gonna get better
Growing up's not easy
Alone

You're gonna ask, "Why?"
You're gonna want answers
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you
You're gonna think twice before you start praying
And wonder when the walls will stop caving
Hate to be the one to tell you this
Hate to be the one to tell you this
But you'll be alright, kid
