Older Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
I’d turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
To every little fight ‘cause neither one was right
Pre-Chorus
I swore I’d never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
Chorus
The older I get, the more that I see
My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me
And loving is hard, it don’t always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad, but now I know
Sometimes it’s better to let someone go
It just hadn’t hit me yet
The older I get
Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus
I swore I’d never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
Chorus
The older I get, the more that I see
My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me
And loving is hard, it don’t always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad, but now I know
Sometimes it’s better to let someone go
It just hadn’t hit me yet
The older I get
Chorus
The older I get, the more that I see
My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me
And loving is hard, it don’t always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad, but now I know
Sometimes it’s better to let someone go
It just hadn’t hit me yet
The older I get
