Grow Up
Olly Murs Lyrics

I thought about you the other day
I recently took a moment to think about our past relationship.

What the hell happened with you and me?
I'm confused about what went wrong between us.

'Cause, oh, ain't no lovin' no more
Our love is gone, there's no more romance.

You ain't as cool as you used to be
You have changed and are not as attractive to me as before.

Closer to the mirror than you are to me
You seem more concerned with your own appearance and needs than with me.

I said, oh, had to show you that door
I had to end our relationship and ask you to leave my life.

Someday I hope we can fix it, 'cause I ain't too proud to try
I'm willing to work on our relationship and hope that we can reconcile someday.

Say hi to your friends, and if they ever ask you why we don't talk
If you see your friends, please tell them that we don't talk anymore and why.

Know you gotta grow up
You need to mature and act like an adult.

Ain't you sick of being immature?
Are you not tired of acting childish and not taking responsibility for your actions?

Talkin' loud 'cause you're insecure
You try to compensate for your insecurities by speaking loudly and trying to be the center of attention.

You always turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, c'mon
You always try to make yourself heard and noticed by exaggerating your actions and words.

Why you always gotta show off?
Why do you feel the need to display and boast about your accomplishments or possessions?

You're so offended, I already know
I'm aware that you'll be upset or hurt when you hear this song.

But when you hear this on the radio, you're gonna turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Despite being offended, you will still listen to this song and raise the volume.

'Cause it's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The song's message centers on you and your need to grow up.

Now you said some stuff that you can't take back
You made hurtful comments that can't be undone or erased.

How did you think that I would react?
Did you expect me to just brush it off or not be affected by your words?

'Cause you're, you must be out of your mind, no
You have lost your senses or rationality to say such hurtful remarks.

How did we go straight from love to hate?
How did our positive feelings towards each other turn so negative and hostile?

Now it's so deep that we can't be mates
Our animosity is so strong that we can't even be friends anymore.

I said, oh, we should give it some time
I think we should take a break and give ourselves time to cool down and reflect.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, anytime you start it
Whenever you're ready to start making positive changes.

You're growing up a little, darlin'
You're becoming more responsible and mature, my dear.
