[Intro]
Oh, no, no, no, no
I’m not ready to grow up

[Verse]
My father told me to stop being a boy
My mother told me not to play with toys
They begged me to take care of my sister
To give her the love she was looking for
It was hard to believe we stayed all alone
I wanted to howl when coming back home

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I should’ve left childhood’s embrace
Taken responsibility and remained brave
I know I should’ve made my parents proud
Hidden my tears and held down all my shouts
But I… (But I…)

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to grow up
(Not ready to grow up)
Don’t tell me to wake up
A thunderstorm hit our sweet home
Breaking into my comfort zone
Leaving me broken and lonely
I’m in despair, grieving for my family
Please, Father, come back and hug me
Please, Mother, come back and kiss me

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be a little baby and live a careless life

[Verse 2]
My father said, "stop acting like a baby"
My mother said, "get a job and find a lady"
They swore at me 'cause I played the fool
Pissed everyone off and skipped school
I had a lot of friends and thought I was lucky
But I didn’t know they only needed my money

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt like I was drowning in the endless ocean
Trying so hard to find some kind of motivation
Even if nobody heard my deafening shout
Nobody was going to take me to the shore
Oh, no…

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to grow up
(Not ready to grow up)
Don’t tell me to wake up
A thunderstorm hit our sweet home
Breaking into my comfort zone
Leaving me broken and lonely
I’m in despair, grieving for my family
Please, Father, come back and hug me
Please, Mother, come back and kiss me

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be a little baby and live a careless life

[Bridge]
Oh, mother, father, sister…
I’m so sorry I’ve never been perfect
I know I messed it up to the heck
I’m an idiot who’s made tons of mistakes
Is there just something I can save?

[Breakdown]
Oh, damn, I wish I could get another chance
I don’t want to break down and collapse
Even if… (Even if...)

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to grow up
(Not ready to grow up)
Don’t tell me to wake up
(No, no, no, no)
A thunderstorm hit our sweet home
Breaking into my comfort zone
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Leaving me broken and lonely
I’m in despair, grieving for my family
(Not ready to grow up)
Please, Father, come back and hug me
Please, Mother, come back and kiss me

[Outro]
Give me the strength to accept the loss
Don’t let me doubt and change the course
Weaken all my pain, wipe all my tears
Bring me to friends, save me from death
I have to grow up, I have to wake up
