It's a Bitch to Grow Up - Alanis Morissette

It’s been 10 years of investment

It’s been one foot in and one out

It’s been 4 days of full of shit

And I feel snuffed out

It’s been 33 years of restraining

Of trying to control this tumult

How I did invest in such fantasy

But my nervous system has worn out

I feel done, I feel raked over coals

And all that remains is the case

That it’s a bitch to grow up

I’ve repeated this dance ad-nauseum

There’s still something to learn that I’ve not

I’m told to see this as divine perfection

But my bones don’t feel this perfection

I feel done, I feel raked over coals

And all that remains is the case

That it’s a bitch to grow up

I’ve spent life hovering above bottom

Thinking I can’t survive what’s below

But I’ve known through the kicking and screaming

That there was no other direction to go

I feel done, I feel raked over coals

And all that remains is the case

That it’s a bitch to grow up
