That's How People Grow Up letra

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me
And see their sunlit dream

I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes from
Someone who does not exist and

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

Let me live before I die
Not me, not I

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on their deathbed said
"There are other sorrows too"

I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes, there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

As for me I'm okay
For now anyway
