the older you get, the less you cry

I fell in love at seventeen

Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams

And I felt her love on the road

But that was a long time ago

I fell for the wrong girl

The type to start a fire and leave you there to burn

And I found a way to stay alive

But 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 was 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'd 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

And 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 was 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'd 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

Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry

Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry

I wish I could love like I used to love

I wish I could hurt like when I was 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'd 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 older I get, the less that I cry

The less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry

The older I get, the less that I cry

The less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry

I wish I could love like I used to love

I wish I could hurt like when I was young

It's getting easier to say goodbye

The older you get, the less you cry
