I
fell in love at seventeen
I had to make a choice,
either her or my dreams
And I fell in love on the road
But that was a long time ago
I fell for the wrong girl
And time to start a fire and leave you there to burn
And I found a way to stay alive
With something in me that day died
How does anyone make it out better?
Someone tell me the words I should say
How does anyone keep it forever?
I barely made it through yesterday
I wish I could love like I used to love
I wish I could hurt like when I wasn't young
It's getting easier to say goodbye
The older you get,
the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away
And I take back the things that I wish I didn't say
It's getting harder as the days go by
The older you get,
the less you cry
I
don't know what I gotta change
No matter what I do,
it always ends the same
And I'm not giving up yet
But I don't got a whole lot left
How does anyone make it out better?
Someone tell me the words I should say
How does anyone keep it forever?
I barely made it through yesterday
I wish I could love like I used to love
I wish I could hurt like when I wasn't young
It's getting easier to say goodbye
The older you get,
the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away
And I take back the things that I wish I didn't say
It's getting hotter as the days go by
The older you get,
the less you cry
Oh,
I,
darlin', yes I cry Oh,
I,
darlin', yes I cry
I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I wasn't young
It's getting easy to say goodbye The older you get,
the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away And I take back the things that I wish I didn't say
It's getting harder as the days go by The older you get,
the less you cry
The longer I get,
the less that I cry The less that I feel,
the less I cry
The colder I get,
the less that I cry The less that I feel,
the less I cry
I'm not losing you
It's getting easier to say goodbye
