Older

[00:00.63] I used to shut my door

[00:04.14] While my mother screamed in the kitchen

[00:07.64] I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen to every little fight

[00:17.41] 'Cause neither one was right

[00:21.66] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:25.42] But I was just a kid back then

[00:28.42] The older I get the more that I see

[00:32.18] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:35.93] 'Cause loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:39.69] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.44] I used to be mad but now I know

[00:47.20] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:50.95] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:54.46] The older I get

[00:56.47] I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

[01:03.74] I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

[01:10.49] Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

[01:17.76] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:21.42] But I was just a kid back then

[01:24.67] The older I get the more that I see

[01:28.44] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.18] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:35.94] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:39.70] I used to be mad but now I know

[01:43.46] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:46.97] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:50.98] The older I get

[02:05.99] The older I get the more that I see

[02:09.75] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[02:13.50] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[02:17.26] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:20.77] I used to be mad but now I know

[02:24.52] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:28.28] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:32.03] The older I get
