Older Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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

What inspired this song?
The inspiration for this song was pretty much my entire childhood. I grew up with parents who were divorced when I was three and then they both remarried to other people when I was about 10, and then they both got divorced again when I was 17, to the other people. So I think “Older” is a song that I...
How did you link up with producer King Henry?
King Henry is an amazing producer and he’s also my boyfriend, which is a bad look, but YOLO. I remember, I actually wrote this song in Germany when I was doing promo with my friend Danny. And we got super high; somehow we found a joint in the middle of Germany and we were like, “Thank fucking God.”...
What has your family's reaction been to the song?
For the video, I had this brilliant idea to use home footage, so unique. No, but I actually hadn’t to talk to my dad in a very long time. We have a really strange relationship and he had all the home videos. So in order for me to get them to make this video, I had to reach out to him and be like ope...
