About Older

“Older” is about the hardships of growing up with parents who fought and realizing that sometimes love isn’t always perfect. Sasha vows to never be like her parents, who fought when she was younger, but now has learned as she has grown that sometimes it’s necessary to accept the pain that comes with love and heartbreak. She uses her personal experiences with heartbreak to relate to how her parents felt back when she was younger. Overall the song is about how perspective changes as a person grows, whether it be about the world or love. .

Older Lyrics

[00:01.63] I used to shut my door
[00:04.45] When my mother screamed in the kitchen
[00:08.90] I'd turn the music up
[00:12.41] Get high and try not to listen
[00:15.24] To every little fight
[00:18.70] 'Cause neither one was right
[00:22.74] I swore I'd never be like them
[00:26.42] But I was just a kid back then
[00:29.57] The older I get, the more that I see
[00:33.02] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[00:36.83] And loving is hard, it don't always work
[00:40.62] You just try your best not to get hurt
[00:44.33] I used to be mad but now I know
[00:48.11] Sometimes it's better to let someone go
[00:51.94] It just hadn't hit me yet
[00:55.78] The older I get
[00:58.00] I used to wonder why
[01:01.48] Why they could never be happy
[01:05.29] I used to close my eyes
[01:08.75] And pray for a whole another family
[01:11.64] Where everything was fine
[01:15.39] One that felt like mine
[01:19.05] I swore I'd never be like them
[01:22.81] But I was just a kid back then
[01:25.79] The older I get, the more that I see
[01:29.45] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[01:33.12] And loving is hard, it don't always work
[01:36.92] You just try your best not to get hurt
[01:40.74] I used to be mad but now I know
[01:44.58] Sometimes it's better to let someone go
[01:48.14] It just hadn't hit me yet
[01:51.68] The older I get
[01:55.04]
[02:07.14] The older I get, the more that I see
[02:10.65] My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[02:14.49] And loving is hard, it don't always work
[02:18.20] You just try your best not to get hurt
[02:21.95] I used to be mad but now I know
[02:25.64] Sometimes it's better to let someone go
[02:29.31] It just hadn't hit me yet
[02:33.23] The older I get
[02:34.16]
