Older

[00:00.64] I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen

[00:07.12] I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen

[00:12.42] To every little fight 'cause neither one was right

[00:19.01] *Pre-Chorus*

[00:19.01] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:22.02] But I was just a kid back then

[00:24.74] *Chorus*

[00:24.74] The older I get, the more that I see

[00:27.75] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:30.79] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:34.27] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:37.26] I used to be mad, but now I know

[00:40.53] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:43.78] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:46.79] The older I get

[00:48.65] *Verse 2*

[00:48.65] I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

[00:54.93] I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

[01:00.40] Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

[01:06.77] *Pre-Chorus*

[01:06.77] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:10.04] But I was just a kid back then

[01:12.50] *Chorus*

[01:12.50] The older I get, the more that I see

[01:15.53] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:18.80] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:21.81] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:25.26] I used to be mad, but now I know

[01:28.54] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:31.31] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:34.54] The older I get

[01:47.76] *Chorus*

[01:47.76] The older I get, the more that I see

[01:50.67] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:53.67] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:56.93] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:00.15] I used to be mad, but now I know

[02:03.42] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:06.38] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:09.88] The older I get
