older

[00:00.83] I used to shut my door

[00:04.08] While my mother screamed in the kitchen

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

[00:17.84] 'Cause neither one was right

[00:21.82] I swore I'd never be like them

[00:25.58] But I was just a kid back then

[00:28.79] The older I get the more that I see

[00:32.29] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[00:36.07] 'Cause loving is hard, it don't always work

[00:39.82] You just try your best not to get hurt

[00:43.33] I used to be mad but now I know

[00:47.32] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[00:51.07] It just hadn't hit me yet

[00:54.33] The older I get

[00:57.33] I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

[01:04.07] 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

[01:17.82] I swore I'd never be like them

[01:21.82] But I was just a kid back then

[01:24.82] The older I get the more that I see

[01:28.58] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[01:32.32] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[01:36.05] You just try your best not to get hurt

[01:39.80] I used to be mad but now I know

[01:43.54] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[01:47.30] It just hadn't hit me yet

[01:50.79] The older I get

[02:05.57] The older I get the more that I see

[02:09.82] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

[02:13.57] And loving is hard, it don't always work

[02:17.30] You just try your best not to get hurt

[02:21.05] I used to be mad but now I know

[02:24.82] Sometimes it's better to let someone go

[02:28.57] It just hadn't hit me yet

[02:32.55] The older I get
