Older

[00:00.68] *Verse 1*

[00:00.68] I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen

[00:08.07] I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen

[00:14.44] To every little fight 'cause neither one was right

[00:22.18] *Pre-Chorus*

[00:22.18] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:25.93] But I was just a kid back then

[00:28.54] *Chorus*

[00:28.54] The older I get, the more that I see

[00:32.55] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:36.32] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:40.04] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.78] I used to be mad, but now I know

[00:47.56] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:51.28] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:55.03] The older I get

[00:57.04] *Verse 2*

[00:57.04] I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

[01:04.53] I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

[01:10.79] Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

[01:18.16] *Pre-Chorus*

[01:18.16] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:22.15] But I was just a kid back then

[01:25.15] *Chorus*

[01:25.15] The older I get, the more that I see

[01:28.91] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.40] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:36.40] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:39.91] I used to be mad, but now I know

[01:43.90] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:47.65] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:51.40] The older I get

[02:06.26] *Chorus*

[02:06.26] The older I get, the more that I see

[02:10.00] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[02:14.01] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[02:17.75] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:21.23] I used to be mad, but now I know

[02:25.08] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:28.82] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:32.57] The older I get
