I don't want to complain from ear to ear
Check if who leads me away
Deny the reflection that I leave in my mirror
Nor lodge the grudge between eyebrows
I don't want to keep so many secrets
Nor be faced in a grotesque painting
Like the Montagues and the Capulet
I don't want to be obsolete at your age
Neither lose vigor, nor say without rigor
That all past time was always better
Or get to my house obfuscated and annoying
I don't want to be tired of wearing
And though this truth may hurt
I have to say it, without pleasing
But if I offend, I apologize
When I grow up, I don't want to be like you
I don't want to make your same mistakes
Don't believe they are all scammers
I don't want to handle your same values
Not that each day is the same as the previous ones
I don't want to not be able to control my anger
Nor carry that sadness in the eyes
Wet and red, withered and loose
I do not want myself to be my spoils
Nor vehemently blame others
Of what is my concern and responsibility
I don't even give myself a try in some idiocy
What I couldn't do when I was 23
And though this truth may hurt
I have to say it, without pleasing
But if I offend, I apologize
When I grow up, I don't want to be like you
I don't want anything to cause me pleasure anymore
Not even when the pain touches me do I evoke yesterday
Nor look at old photos and start crying
Or they name someone and start shaking
I don't want to lead that battered life
With suspicions of deceit and the illusion undone
Nor launch pests believing me Apollo
It doesn't even bother me on a date to be alone
And although this lends itself to misinterpreting
I don't want them to think it's just for criticizing
And I hope it's just a statement
Because I don't even know if I want you to want to be like me
And though this truth may hurt
I have to say it, without pleasing
But if I offend, I apologize
When I grow up, I don't want to be like you
And although it's true (I don't want to be like you)
it may hurt
I have to say it, (I don't want to be like you)
without pleasing
But if I offend, (I don't want to be like you)
I apologize
When I grow up
