Ifell in love at seventeenI had to make a choice,either her or my dreamsAnd I fell in love on the roadBut that was a long time agoI fell for the wrong girlAnd time to start a fire and leave you there to burnAnd I found a way to stay aliveWith something in me that day diedHow does anyone make it out better?Someone tell me the words I should sayHow does anyone keep it forever?I barely made it through yesterdayI wish I could love like I used to loveI wish I could hurt like when I wasn't youngIt's getting easier to say goodbyeThe older you get,the less you cryI wish I didn't give all of me awayAnd I take back the things that I wish I didn't sayIt's getting harder as the days go byThe older you get,the less you cryIdon't know what I gotta changeNo matter what I do,it always ends the sameAnd I'm not giving up yetBut I don't got a whole lot leftHow does anyone make it out better?Someone tell me the words I should sayHow does anyone keep it forever?I barely made it through yesterdayI wish I could love like I used to loveI wish I could hurt like when I wasn't youngIt's getting easier to say goodbyeThe older you get,the less you cryI wish I didn't give all of me awayAnd I take back the things that I wish I didn't sayIt's getting hotter as the days go byThe older you get,the less you cryOh,I,darlin', yes I cry Oh,I,darlin', yes I cryI wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I wasn't youngIt's getting easy to say goodbye The older you get,the less you cryI wish I didn't give all of me away And I take back the things that I wish I didn't sayIt's getting harder as the days go by The older you get,the less you cryThe longer I get,the less that I cry The less that I feel,the less I cryThe colder I get,the less that I cry The less that I feel,the less I cryI'm not losing youIt's getting easier to say goodbye
