Songwriter: Taylor York Hayley Williams

Producer: Taylor York Justin Meldal-Johnsen

[Verse 1]
I told them all where to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
I said, I'm done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my band and a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I'll cry just a little then I'll dry my eyes
Cause I'm not a little girl no more

[Chorus]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind

[Verse 2]
Stood in line for so long just to picket
Something I will never understand
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
Won't you just admit you don't care?
And lady, I don't want your pity
So don't feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we're both just living out our dream

[Chorus]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind

[Bridge]
We get along for the most part
Me and reality, the light and the dark
We live alone, two different worlds
Me in a fantasy, you in your memories
But we get along
We get along (for the most part)
We get along (yeah, for the most part)
We get along (for the most part)
We get along
We get along, we get along

[Chorus]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up and never grow old)
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up and never grow old)
And so, if I have to I'm going to leave you behind

Paramore

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
