Older

I used to shut my door
 When 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
 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
 I used to wonder why
 Why they could never be happy
 I used to close my eyes
 And pray for a whole another 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
