oliver stay - this is how i grew up lyrics

[verse 1]
i was spoiled for my situation
had a kick+ass mom with three jobs
and that’s how i know
you’ve gotta work to make it
so mark this as part of my progress
mach five since the age eleven
that’s why i’m bad at paying attention
caught up like i’m in the wrong direction
that’s just the way it seems to be
woke up and i was eighteen
full+time job and a baby
but that’s alright, that’s okay
that’s why i am who i became

[chorus]
used to walk these streets on the east side
never tried my life on the bright side
so i’m never gonna think i’ve been through enough
yeah, this is how i grew up
dive bars on the corners of my street
cracked holes taking over the concrete
watching neighbors giving up on the things they love
yeah, this is how i grew up

[verse 2]
i was fifteen
when we lost our house to the bank
seventeen
when i thought my life was a waste
i was twenty
when i was rock+bottom, flat+broke
but that’s alright, that’s okay
that’s why i am who i became

[bridge]
i’m not angry
i’m a little repulsed
on how things have changed
things have changed
i took my youth, and i threw it away
i’m not angry
i’m a little repulsed
on how things have changed
things have changed
i took my youth, and i threw it away
i’m a little repulsed
things have changed
i took my youth, and i threw it away
