Older

[00:01.53] I used to shut my door

[00:04.18] While my mother screamed in the kitchen

[00:07.91] I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen to every little fight

[00:18.02] 'Cause neither one was right

[00:21.72] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:25.47] But I was just a kid back then

[00:28.66] The older I get the more that I see

[00:32.16] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:35.88] 'Cause loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:39.64] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.65] I used to be mad but now I know

[00:47.38] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:51.12] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:54.85] The older I get

[00:56.72] I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

[01:03.93] I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

[01:10.86] Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

[01:18.02] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:21.76] But I was just a kid back then

[01:24.68] The older I get the more that I see

[01:28.42] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.13] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:36.13] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:39.85] I used to be mad but now I know

[01:43.61] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:47.35] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:51.08] The older I get

[02:06.27] The older I get the more that I see

[02:09.72] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[02:13.71] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[02:17.43] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:21.19] I used to be mad but now I know

[02:24.89] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:28.63] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:32.35] The older I get
