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 the 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
I absolutely love this song describes my situation perfectly,I used to look for love all the time and I always got dissapointed ,hurt and sad. I realised that Morrissey is right,there are worse things in life than never have loved or been loved by somebody.Morrissey has changed my life for the better,he doesn´t know it...yet.
Same here, this song changed my life immeasurably. For years I agonised about being single. Then I heard this song on the radio and it cured me! Pretty much instantly, I learned to just be happy being single and concentrate on all the good things about my life. Absolute life-changer
Minha infância assistindo esse clipe na MTV, adorava. Sabia que essa música era do Morissey mas não sabia o nome porque quando era criança não entendia inglês e não lembrava de jeito nenhum nenhuma palavra da música mas felizmente achei.
Morrissey perfectly captures the undefinable feeling of being a human. The need to have agency while dealing with the primal angst associated with being part of a social species.
His artistry continues to overwhelm me to this day. 30+ years later as meaningful and fresh as when I saw 23. True genius whose work must be preserved for future generations. So encouraging to see so many young people at his concerts.
Nah, he likes it when people come on stage to hug him. People just need to be more gentle although i'm sure they're not intentionally rough it's just all the excitement of being there.
i really like the message of the song, wasted time searching for love and wishing someone could found you and be loved, but the question is, do you love her/him? that's the problem.
I love uour music Morrissey, grew up on it and if i had a chance, i too would run u o on stage to hug you and tell you personally how great you are. Much love
"I imagine the reason clinge to hatred so passionately is that they fear that if they didn't, then they would finally see their own pain." -James Baldwin This is a song about a bitter older man who is mentally reliving his life choices in a quest to try and figure out how his life went wrong. But he figures out that it wasnt a single choice, rather a series of bad choices. He feels intense self hatred of himself for being to young and impulsive to realise the truth until just now.
That's not at all what it is about. It is about choosing not to be miserable and taking life for granted while wasting it away looking for love, as if that is the only redeeming part about it. Live your life now.
So many artists in later years lose it, so often writing watered down or uninspired music. Oddly enough, this is one of Morrissey's best efforts cover to cover. It's as creative and cutting as his best, going back even as far as 1994's Vauxhall and I. Nothing better than a super talented artist with much to say staying as vital in later years. Great stuff.
I love you so much. Seeing you last summer was the highlight of my life and seeing you this summer is basically all that's keeping me going. I know you'll never see this, but still leaving a comment anyway. This song is so catchy. Someone must look at me and see their sunlit dream.
when i discovered morrissey, i obviously didn't know anything about him, aside from the fact that he was on hayley williams shirt in a picture once needless to say i became a pretty fond fan in a few hours
Tenho saudades dele nos Smiths porq eles foram acabar na melhor fase. É Assim Que As Pessoas Crescem Eu estava desperdiçando meu tempo Tentando me apaixonar A decepção veio até mim e Me chutou Me encheu de hematomas e Me feriu. amoooooo o Morrissey tenho saudades dele na epoca dos The Smiths.pena ter acabado pra mim eles eram a melhor banda punk rock.daqueles tempos.

I still wonder what happens to the people after they jump the rail and rush the stage to touch him. I really hope that they don't get kicked out of the concert. It's a tradition.
Moz mobbing should become recognised as a sport! This song is fantastic, a good return to form for him but a shame that it didn't chart as well as some of his other stuff just prior to it.
The resignation as he sings this song.. it's so sad.. but in a way it's not. I mean it's probably better to face up to the fact that he's gonna live his life just like he's undoubtedly gonna die..alone and not feel constantly sad about this celibacy. I wish I had the strength and intelligence to understand this as well. Oh well, I'll never learn...
cariminferno What is it then? I'm pretty sure I got the meaning right on this one, but I may be wrong... could you please enlighten me on what you think the meaning of the song is? :)
carimusic what the message is basically is you don't need love in your life, there are so many worse things that could happen to you than to never experience love
In my personal interpretation, I guess the main character in the song holds some unrealistic beliefs about life and love, like waiting for an idealized woman that does not even exist, or unpractical, like thinking only about oneself and then not wanting to end up alone. By facing the consequences with dissapointment (at least in this stage) is how people grow. What do you think?
yeah I kinda agree with what you're saying. I also think it's about Morrissey finally realising that Love and relationships will never happen to him, so it's best to simply give up on it. It's quite a contrast if you listen to this song and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday".
where in his comment did it say that he said he was gay? men can hug men u know, its just super rare and like he said, only happens when the guy is awesome
por si acaso el recital donde morrissey sale con la camisa blanca, negra ,chaqueta blanca y camisa blanca se llama morrissey hollywood bowl {complete film} HQ 2007
Dear Morrissey...you've been helping me so much to face life lately... I'm very grateful to you...
+sea gull Man... my exact same thoughts
same.
Yes ! I feel the same
I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes
From someone who does not exist
And thats how people grow up
I was driving my car and crashed and broke my spine 🤣🤣 only morrisey could put these lyrics into a song
when several dudes are desperately trying to hug someone even though that someone is guy,
that's when you know that that someone is AWESOME!!
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 the 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

Darling Stephen,Thank you for showing me how to grow up in appreciation of my life loving Myself!💜☺But you are adored too.

morrissey fans are truly a special breed ❤

I Wanna hug Morrissey
He doesn't want to hug you.
Inika Inika the security guard does tho
Omg can so relate to this song but at the same time surprised my self how synical I've become
*The person we seek for love is a mirror of ourselves/ so dont exist but you can and must break the cycle plus fab song* 💕🌻☘🎯
Nah, he likes it when people come on stage to hug him. People just need to be more gentle although i'm sure they're not intentionally rough it's just all the excitement of being there.
I have no words either except being from The Smiths generation, Morrissey never ceases to AMAZE me!! I LOVE watching this & especially HIM!!
he's obviously singing about my life...
Perfect song for a broken hearted man like me.
not going to lie, id probably jump on the stage too
Damn right and at 52 years old, I’d be right up there with you!! I love Morrisey!
I did! 1991 tour
Yes! Every in love with him will do it!!!
this is....i cant even explain. i would hate this world without morrissey.
I love those lyrics, great tune, Morrissey's amazing here.
Lol
That girl around 24 seconds in is unbelievably lucky. And I'm unbelievably jealous.
I want to hug him so too! I'm so jealous!
i really like the message of the song, wasted time searching for love and wishing someone could found you and be loved, but the question is, do you love her/him? that's the problem.
I love uour music Morrissey, grew up on it and if i had a chance, i too would run u o on stage to hug you and tell you personally how great you are. Much love
Your
grande Moss!!! ningun otra hombre o mujer de cualquier edad se sube al escenario solo para tocarlo, es un maestro MOrrissey cuando llegaras a peru !!!
Take note in this song, and others, which have influenced so many artists, like Muse. What an influence. Amazing talent.

A letra dessa Musica tem um dos mais Puro sentimentos na letra ke eu ja ouvi é só ouvir a intro ke é de arrepiar.. Muito FOda....
thats how we grow up with you MORRISEY
just gotta get my Moz fix before I go to school. I'm addicted to his music.

I love his love for persons who would jump the barrier.
Happy Birthday Morrissey! And Happy Mozmas to you all
i love you moz you are amazing the best singer and person i m from guadalajara mexico
People are unpredictable. People give love (platonic, familial, romantic, etc.) then take it away for any old reason.
Listening to morrissey, thats how i grew up. I just love this charming man.
Argentina miss Morrissey, here we are
We love him.
Nunca uma canção me definiu tanto hahahaha
Lembro quando isso tocava direito na MTV lá pra 2007 por aí, tô ficando velho 😔
This song is super cool ! Very good song ,....
Kristeen Young killing it in the begininng....
when i discovered morrissey, i obviously didn't know anything about him, aside from the fact that he was on hayley williams shirt in a picture once
needless to say i became a pretty fond fan in a few hours
How do you describe a real artists? Unique.
I just got tickets yesterday to see him in June and this just got me really hyper.
Morrissey eternamente... essa música é demais... pena que dificilmente virá algum dia ao Brasil.
I love the MOZ!
Tenho saudades dele nos Smiths porq eles foram acabar na melhor fase.
É Assim Que As Pessoas Crescem
Eu estava desperdiçando meu tempo
Tentando me apaixonar
A decepção veio até mim e
Me chutou
Me encheu de hematomas e
Me feriu.
amoooooo o Morrissey tenho saudades dele na epoca dos The Smiths.pena ter acabado pra mim eles eram a melhor banda punk rock.daqueles tempos.
Morrissey the Great

Might be my favourite lyric of all time, that one!
7 people need to Grow Up
the start of this song is golden lights...i'm sure of it
I was wasting my time, praying for love fFor a love that never comes, from someone who does not exist O:!
