Sasha Sloan Older (Lyrics)

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

[00:08.40] I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen

[00:14.63] To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right

[00:22.13] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:26.15] But I was just a kid back then

[00:28.88] The older I get the more that I see

[00:32.66] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:36.63] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:40.13] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.88] I used to be mad but now I know

[00:47.63] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:51.66] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:55.13] The older I get

[00:56.88] I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

[01:04.64] I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

[01:11.13] Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

[01:18.63] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:22.37] But I was just a kid back then

[01:25.37] The older I get the more that I see

[01:29.13] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.89] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:36.63] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:40.38] I used to be mad but now I know

[01:44.13] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:47.63] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:51.37] The older I get

[02:06.90] The older I get the more that I see

[02:10.13] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[02:14.14] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[02:17.62] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:21.64] I used to be mad but now I know

[02:25.40] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:29.15] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:32.89] The older I get
