As someone who grew up in abusive household, this song hits home in a way that is hard to verbalize. Tenille, you are a beautiful songwriter and you found a way to tug at my heart and write a song that described my life as a kid. Bravo! I bawled like a baby when I first heard this.
To all who are young, don't waste a day of your life, especially when it comes to drugs and drink, I've been there, and now I am older having grown up in the 60's, and 70's and graduated in 81. I love you all.
I felt this song to my core especially the never kissed boy but your hearts in two and Never had a drink but you know what it can do and never saw the world till yours came undone I felt those words so much!!😢😔
this song is like my own little therapy session... the number of experiences I've missed because i was supposed to "grow up" and "stop acting like a child"...
Found this song on TikTok and my heart needed to hear the whole song, I just cut contact with my parents I was tired of getting hurt trying to keep the family together, but it was never my job to raise my siblings at 5 y/o never got to be a kid but I wasn't given a choice. At 30 y/o now I'm hurting and they don't realize what they have done.
I have twin daughters who have been battling with anxiety. Their dad and I divorced when they were 2, they're 10 now, we're both remarried, but things haven't gotten any easier for them. This song hit home on so many levels. Omg thank you for this beautiful gem, and for hope that what they're doing through won't destroy them, but make them stronger. Xoxo to anyone out there who can relate, or is hurting!
my parents split up when I was like 3 or 4 and my older brother who was about 6 or 7 and my 2 or 3-year-old little sister we moved with my mom who was a drug addict and is now working on herself and her dealer boyfriend. I was forced to grow up way too fast as in cooking with knives and the stove at 4 after about a year Mabey 2 we moved in with our aunt and uncle and twin cousins (who are a year older than my brother) after almost being separated and being put into foster care they looked after us for about a year and a half while my dad tried to get back on his feet and finally my dad was able to take full custody of us and we now have a stepmom who is a million times better than my biological mom and could not be happier I am 14 now my brother is 16 and my sister is 12
Growing old ain't a choice But sometimes, growing up ain't either When you get cut that young Time's the only healer Your words are healer can't explain you how I feel. Just so glad you made this song. Thank you so much ❤️
"A ten year old should be playing house, not keeping his together" fuck.. I wasn't expecting to cry when I clicked this in my recommendations. That line REALLY got me and I'm sitting at an airport.. why😂😂 But nevertheless, absolutely a beautiful song.
Just another Sunday afternoon Cryin', tryna drown out the sound Of fightin' words comin' from the living room Going shot-for-shot in another round We just sweep it under the rug Never talk about it at all We just leave it all messed-up Add another brick to the wall Yeah, the thing about growing old young You fast-forward through the innocent stuff You cut straight to the fallin' out of love And thinkin' maybe you'll never be enough 'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two Never had a drink but you know what it can do Never got to see the world before yours came undone That's growing old young A ten-year-old should be playin' house Not holdin' theirs together Or blamin' yourself or wonderin' how The bad will ever get any better Yeah, the thing about growing old young You fast-forward through the innocent stuff You cut straight to the fallin' out of love And thinkin' maybe you'll never be enough 'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two Never had a drink but you know what it can do Never got to see the world before yours came undone That's growing old young Ooh Growing old ain't a choice But sometimes, growing up ain't either When you get cut that young Time's the only healer But the thing about growing old young You'll learn how to get through the tough stuff You'll find a way to fall in love Without your past messin' it up I know you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two Never had a drink but you know what it can do Never got to see the world before yours came undone I know you're growing old young (ooh, yeah) I know you're growing old young (ooh) That's thing about growing old young
So my mother died when I was 5 from addiction so when I was 10 I had already moved to a different state had my grandparents take sole custody of me I had a stepmom who basically used me to get to my dad. But now of it weren't for all that I wouldn't have my little brother who love to death and I didn't even want him. And I will never know how to thank my grandparents for what they did they fought for custody of me against the state of Florida cuz my mom even on her death bed let the alcohol do the talking and made it difficult for my dad to get custody of me.

I love love love the line "but the thing about growing old young is you learn how to get through the tough stuff. You'll learn how to love without your past messing it up" Because it is so freaking true!! The quickest, easiest way to learn to keep your past from messing up your present/future, is always gonna be therapy. Always. So that's my first piece of unsolicited advice. My second, also extremely important piece of unsolicited advice, is that you ought to look up the term "parentification". Cause I'm about 99.8% sure you're in that club with me. And if I could go back to your age again, I'd look it up, and look into what happens to the parentified kid when they grow up. And third, the phrase "you're so mature for your age" (or anything similar) is only used for one of 2 reasons. Either by parents/caregivers/authority figures, in order to gaslight and trick the child into wanting more responsibilities that they shouldn't have to take on. (Aka, parentification) And the only other reason an adult will tell you you're mature for your age, is if/when they're an abusive predator who has set their sights on you. Full stop. They're trying to make the age difference seem more normal, or more ok. By giving you a false sense of pride and making you think "omg, I'm so much older smarter and more mature than all the other girls in my class. I'm practically a grown up. So no wonder this grown up wants to be with me, another grown up." But it's a lie. Used to prey on people like you and I. Ask me how I know?

Appropriately enough, it's a Sunday afternoon as I type this. This song has the ring of truth and hits me right in the gut with its imagery.
Yup, right in the gut
This song really tugs at the heart strings🥺

Just another Sunday afternoon
Cryin', tryna drown out the sound
Of fightin' words comin' from the living room
Going shot-for-shot in another round
We just sweep it under the rug
Never talk about it at all
We just leave it all messed-up
Add another brick to the wall
Yeah, the thing about growing old young
You fast-forward through the innocent stuff
You cut straight to the fallin' out of love
And thinkin' maybe you'll never be enough
'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two
Never had a drink but you know what it can do
Never got to see the world before yours came undone
That's growing old young
A ten-year-old should be playin' house
Not holdin' theirs together
Or blamin' yourself or wonderin' how
The bad will ever get any better
Yeah, the thing about growing old young
You fast-forward through the innocent stuff
You cut straight to the fallin' out of love
And thinkin' maybe you'll never be enough
'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two
Never had a drink but you know what it can do
Never got to see the world before yours came undone
That's growing old young
Ooh
Growing old ain't a choice
But sometimes, growing up ain't either
When you get cut that young
Time's the only healer
But the thing about growing old young
You'll learn how to get through the tough stuff
You'll find a way to fall in love
Without your past messin' it up
I know you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two
Never had a drink but you know what it can do
Never got to see the world before yours came undone
I know you're growing old young (ooh, yeah)
I know you're growing old young (ooh)
That's thing about growing old young
