Sasha Sloan - Older Lyrics






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
'Cause 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

    Listening to this song makes me so thankful that my parents have a healthy relationship with each other and with me . It makes me so terrified that one day things might start to go wrong between them . To my mom and dad I love you both and I hope things always remain the way it is and if ever things start taking turns between you two , I hope you can find your way back to each other.
    Always be thankful for what you have ,always .

    So, Apple was playing with my emotions today and decided that even though I’d been crying all day about health issues (I have cancer) my FBI guy decided I needed to hear this song. I want to say.... I bawled like a damn baby. Also sent it to my mom and told her I loved her.

    Dan buat yang keluarganya masih utuh, aku doakan semoga kalian selalu bahagia selamanya.

    When i was a kid, i hate my parents. I put the blame on them . When i grew up and met the love of myself, i found it hard to love them. Now I dont hate my parents. They're just fragile like me.

    So to anyone who hate their parents now, they are just trying their best not to get hurt. They're just like you. And trust me when you think they dont care your feelings, trust me they did. They're depressed too.

    I miss my parents a lot

  56. m.... t....

    I was raised in a normal family in the public eyes. But in reality, even though my parents aren't divorced, I was suffering. I wished they had a divorce.

    Up till now, I've never had a relationship. I'm in my 20s. This family situation just traumatized me so much. I didn't tell anybody about it because I don't think they would understand. My friends even think that I have really high standards of guys. I just laugh if off everytime they joke about it. Nobody knows about the scar I'm having.

    I know my parents didn't want us to suffer for being divorced kids, but to me that is much better than growing up listening to them arguing almost everyday. Watching them fight and feel helpless because you can't do anything to make them stop.

    It fels good that I finally let this out.

    I don't know who you are. But I hope you'll live a great life. Thanks for reading.

    I don't consider myself from a "broken" family because my parents aren't trying to be mean. they are human and make mistakes, they just made a lot of the bad mistakes.
    they love me i just wish they could hear me when i say all they do is hurt me.

    Dear Whoever Is Reading This,


    There are loads of comments ( more than 10,000 ) but you picked to read mine.
    I want you to know that you are beautiful, you are strong and you are so much mature than some adults and parents out there. I'm sure everyones parents have made you think this, whether thats arguments, actual fighting or making you feel down about things. You should all just think of the millions of people out there who have no homes, you are lucky you have a family. Love your parents, siblings and relatives no matter for there actions. They may be the only thing you have that is treasured...


    From Unknown x

    I used to listen to this song whenever my parents were fighting. We can't fully blame them though. I remember crying in my closet waiting for the shouting to stop. Some of us have to know that it's hard for parents. Especially untrusted ones. The only thing I wanted was a happy family. Now that im 10, I understand how hard it is and now there is no more arguments. :)

  70. A.... H....

    I watched my parents fight all the time as a young teen, it was horrible and it was physical and emotional like walking on egg shells, my heart goes to all those babies/kids/teens out there growing up in an unhappy and unloving home! As a young adult now i have depression and anxiety and i think watching my parents fight so much to the point where i saw onw of my parents nearly kill the other has affected my adulthood so much and my sisters are the same we all suffer depression, mums & dads please so the right thing and love eachother and your children or leave ur relationship because the kids are scared constantly of when the next fight will happen and it hurts :( I'm a mum of 2 beautiful children and swear never to let them grow up like I did, nothing but love and encouragment for them xo
