You Can't Grow Out of Who You Are


I'm all wrapped up in a nightmare
She calls it a dream come true
She hopes, she prays, she thinks I'll change
But you can't grow out of who you are

So I keep wasting time, cause I can't say how I feel
So I keep wasting time, wasting time

She said she will wait for me, as long I need
but I don't need her, and I don't want her; and I can't tell her – cause it would kill her
to know.... how I feel

So I keep wasting time, cause I can't say, cause I can't say how I feel
So I keep wasting time, wasting time, wasting time

I screwed around a lot in college
I just always thought that I would change
I would wake up one day and I would say
I'm done with all these one night stands and after hours hook ups
I'll grow up and be a man

She hopes, she prays, she thinks I'll change
But you can't grow out of who you are
She hopes, she prays, she thinks I'll change
No, you can't grow out of who you are.

Cause I can't say how I feel
So I keep wasting time, waiting for her to heal.
