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
|
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 '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
