Older Lyrics by Sasha Sloan 

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
