Skillet - The Older I Get lyrics

The walls between

You and I

Always pushing us apart

Nothing left, but scars

Fight after fight

The space between

Our calm and rage

Started growing shorter

Disappearing slowly, day after day

I was sitting there, waiting in my room for you

You were waiting for me, too

And it makes me wonder

The older I get

Will I get over it

It’s been way too long

For the times we missed

I didn’t know then it would hurt like this

But I think

The older I get

Maybe I’ll get over it

It’s been way too long

For the times we missed

I can’t believe

It still hurts like this

The time between

Those cutting words

Built up our defenses

Never made no sense

It just made me hurt

Do you believe

That time heals all wounds

It started getting better

But it’s easy not to fight

When I’m not with you

I was sitting there, waiting in my room for you

You were waiting for me, too

And it makes me wonder

The older I get

Will I get over it

It’s been way too long

For the times we missed

What was I waiting for

I should've taken less

And given you more

I should've weathered the storm

I need to say so bad

What were you waiting for

This could have been the best we ever had

The older I get

Will I get over it

It’s been way too long

For the times we missed

I didn’t know then it would hurt like this

but I think

The older I get

Maybe I’ll get over it

It’s been way too long

For the times we missed

I can’t believe

It still hurts like this

Hurts like this

I'm just getting older

I'm not getting over you, I'm trying to

I wish it didn't hurt like this

It's been way too long

For the times we missed

I can't believe it still hurts like this
