[00:00.00]I used to shut my door
[00:04.22]When my mother screamed in the kitchen
[00:08.07]I'd turn the music up
[00:11.91]Get high and try not to listen
[00:14.51]To every little fight
[00:18.01]'Cause neither one was right
[00:22.00]I swore I’d never be like them
[00:25.74]But I was just a kid back then
[00:28.80]The older I get, the more that I see
[00:32.33]My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[00:36.12]And loving is hard, it don't always work
[00:39.93]You just try your best not to get hurt
[00:43.62]I used to be mad, but now I know
[00:47.39]Sometimes it's better to let someone go
[00:51.13]It just hadn't hit me yet
[00:54.81]The older I get
[00:57.08]I used to wonder why
[01:00.43]Why they could never be happy
[01:04.50]I used to close my eyes
[01:08.03]And pray for a whole 'nother family
[01:10.80]Where everything was fine
[01:13.84]One that felt like mine
[01:18.41]I swore I’d never be like them
[01:21.86]But I was just a kid back then
[01:25.03]The older I get, the more that I see
[01:28.55]My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[01:32.35]And loving is hard, it don't always work
[01:36.13]You just try your best not to get hurt
[01:39.89]I used to be mad, but now I know
[01:43.60]Sometimes it's better to let someone go
[01:47.32]It just hadn't hit me yet
[01:51.07]The older I get
[02:06.14]The older I get, the more that I see
[02:09.79]My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[02:13.68]And loving is hard, it don't always work
[02:17.37]You just try your best not to get hurt
[02:21.08]I used to be mad, but now I know
[02:24.90]Sometimes it's better to let someone go

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 '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
