| 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
|
| I swore I'd never be like them
|
| But I was just a kid back then
|
| The older I get the more that I see
|
| My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
|
| 'Cause 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
|
| 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 I'd never be like them
|
| But I was just a kid back then
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
