older

I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
Id turn the music up get high and try not to listen
To every little fight cause neither one was right
I swore Id never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
The older I get the more that I see
My parents arent heroes theyre just like me
And loving is hard it dont always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes its better to let someone go
It just hadnt hit me yet
The older I get
I used to wonder why why they could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole nother family
Where everything was fine one that felt like mine
I swore Id never be like them

But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My parents arent heroes theyre just like me
And loving is hard it dont always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes its better to let someone go
It just hadnt hit me yet
The older I get

The older I get the more that I see
My parents arent heroes theyre just like me
And loving is hard it dont always work

You just try your best not to get hurt

I used to be mad but now I know

Sometimes its better to let someone go

It just hadnt hit me yet
The older I get
