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

But 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
No 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
