[00:00.65] I used to shut my door

[00:03.90] while my mother screamed in the kitchen

[00:08.15] I'd turn the music up,

[00:11.40] get high and try not to listen

[00:14.15] To every little fight,

[00:18.15] 'cause neither one was right.

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

[00:25.65] But I was just a kid back then.

[00:28.40] The older I get the more that I see

[00:32.40] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:35.90] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:39.65] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.40] I used to be mad but now I know

[00:47.41] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:50.90] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:54.65] The older I get.

[00:56.75] I used to wonder why,

[01:00.25] why they could never be happy

[01:04.26] I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

[01:10.50] Where everything was fine,

[01:14.50] one that felt like mine.

[01:18.26] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:22.25] But I was just a kid back then.

[01:24.75] The older I get the more that I see

[01:28.51] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.25] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:36.01] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:39.75] I used to be mad but now I know

[01:43.75] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:47.25] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:51.01] The older I get.

[02:06.25] The older I get the more that I see

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

[02:13.51] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[02:17.25] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:21.01] I used to be mad but now I know

[02:25.01] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:28.51] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:32.50] The older I get.
