used to shut my door when my

mother screamed in the kitchen

I turned 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

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 can never be happy

I used to close my eyes and

pray for a whole 'nother family

Where everything was fine,

won't that fell 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

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

hmmmm..

The older I get the more that I see

My parents aren't heroes,

they're just like me

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
