C F Am G
I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
C F Am G
I'd tum the music up, get high and try not to listen
C F Am G
To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right
C F
I swore I'd never be like them
Am G
But I was just a kid back then
F G
The older I get the more that I soo
C Am
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like mo
F G
And loving is hard, it don't always work
C Am
You just try your best not to get hurt
F G
I used to be mad but now I know
C Am
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
F G
It just hadn't hit ma yet
F Am G
I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
C F Am G
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
C F Am G
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine
C F
I swore I'd never be like them
Am G
But I was just a kid back then
F G
The older I get the more that I soo
C Am
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like mo
F G
And loving is hard, it don't always work
C Am
You just try your best not to get hurt
F G
I used to be mad but now I know
C Am
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
F G
It just hadn't hit ma yet
C Am
The older I get (X2)
