Throughout

When you wake up
Your whole world's flipped
It's just different and you gotta, you know
You gotta, you gotta go with it
That's just simply growing up
And not see it in a negative way
If they see it as it's been given to you
I mean, as much as times can be crazy
You're gonna feel like that's where you're supposed to be
You're not gonna feel out of place anymore
You're gonna feel like that's where you were meant to be
You don't have to pretend that it's easy all the time
You just let it go and, and grow with it
And you can't hold on
To the old you
Or the old this
Or the old that
Because you know you change
And it's not changing in a bad way
It's just changing
Because that's what happens in life
You grow up
Everyone moves on
You're just learning
You stay true to yourself
Changing isn't a bad thing
It never was
But at the end of the day, you know
You're the same person, and
And where your heart is
That doesn't change

G                D                        F                   C
 And every time I ask myself Am I turning into someone else?
G                   D                                F        C
  And I just pray to God that I'm still who I am

                        G           D    F  C
I really wanna understand 
                     G           D    F  C
I just wanna understand
                       G                              D    F  C
No I just need to, I need to understand
                       G               D    F         C
I really wanna understand, oh who I am
