[Verse 1] Used to laugh things off Call it "my sense of humor" But it was just a shield Rusty and heavy on my shoulders Kept every shirt that didn’t fit Just to prove that I could still be that kid Staring at the closet like a crime scene Wondering who I’ve been [Chorus] It’s time to grow as a person Leave behind the old me Pack up the habits that hurt and Drop the keys to that place in my memory I’m stepping out of the costume Letting all the loose threads breathe It’s time to grow as a person And finally be who I need [Verse 2] I used to call it "busy" When I was really just scared Of quiet rooms and hard truths Of finding out I wasn’t prepared But I’m learning how to sit still Let the hard thoughts say their piece They don’t own the ending They just mark where I found my feet [Chorus] It’s time to grow as a person Leave behind the old me Pack up the habits that hurt and Drop the keys to that place in my memory I’m stepping out of the costume Letting all the loose threads breathe It’s time to grow as a person And finally be who I need [Bridge] I’ll keep the stories Lose the shame Same old heart With a different name (oh) [Chorus] It’s time to grow as a person Leave behind the old me Thank you for getting me this far But I’m walking on You can rest in peace I’m stepping out of the costume New skin over old bones Free It’s time to grow as a person And finally be who I need
