Lyrics for That's How People Grow Up

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
