[00:00.89] I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen

[00:07.80] I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen

[00:13.65] To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right

[00:21.56] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:25.82] But I was just a kid back then

[00:28.47] The older I get the more that I see

[00:32.19] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:36.18] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:39.63] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.66] I used to be mad but now I know

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

[01:18.20] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:22.22] But I was just a kid back then

[01:28.60] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.06] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:34.44] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:39.76] I used to be mad but now I know

[01:43.73] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:47.46] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:50.91] The older I get

[02:06.60] The older I get the more that I see

[02:09.78] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

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

[02:17.77] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:20.95] I used to be mad but now I know

[02:24.93] Sometimes it's better to let someone go
