All Grown Up by Elizabeth Judd Lyrics
[NADIA, spoken]
I can't believe you missed rehearsal again. You know, it isn't all about you! It affects the rest of us, what you do. My brother break your heart? Poor Ivy, wanting the one thing she can't have. It's not easy being easy, huh?
[IVY, spoken]
I'm not easy
[NADIA, spoken]
That's not the word at Fairview's faculty lounge. Mr. Blake might disagree. Oh, but you didn't sleep with him, right
[IVY, spoken]
I am so tired of... I'm tired... I slept with him. Happy? Go tell everyone
[IVY]
He was young, my history teacher
It was love, or so I thought
But love's a pretty fickle creature
That's a lesson I was taught
I pretended I adjusted
As the silence ate away
I told a girl I thought I trusted
She didn't even wait a day
Stories grew, I quickly realized
I had made a huge mistake
I moved here and made another
Now each night I lie awake
Big missteps, it just takes one
To twist your world beyond repair
Options dwindle down to none
He couldn't wait
I didn't care
Hide your heart before its broken
Fragile as a paper cup
Now I'm the word the can't be spoken
Won't you find I'm all grown up
[NADIA, spoken]
What do you mean?
[IVY, spoken]
I'm pregnant
[NADIA, spoken]
Oh
[IVY, spoken]
I was gonna tell Jason, but then he broke up with me
[NADIA, spoken]
Tell Jason what? What?
[IVY]
Every thought of mad intrusion
Left to question endlessly
Like somewhere in this sad confusion
Can I see you helping me
This was not supposed to happen
Not today and not to me
I have plans, I'm not the girl
I somehow have to make him see
Hide your heart before it's broken
Fragile as a paper cup
Words of warning went unspoken
Look at me, I'm all grown up
Look at me
I'm all grown up
Little lies and big decisions
Who to tell and where to go
Follow someone else's vision
Or trust my own? 'Cause I don't know
What am I supposed to do now?
He won't even talk to me
I thought maybe he could love me
But if I can't then why should he?
If I can't then why should he?
Hide your heart before its broken
Fragile as a paper cup
Left alone with arms wide open
Look at me, I'm all grown up
Story ends in total damage
It's an unforgiving world
Left to cope, how will I manage?
How can I?
I'm just a girl
I can't believe you missed rehearsal again. You know, it isn't all about you! It affects the rest of us, what you do. My brother break your heart? Poor Ivy, wanting the one thing she can't have. It's not easy being easy, huh?
