The Older I Get (Acoustic) Lyrics

The walls between
You and I
Always pushing us apart
Nothing left but scars, fight after fightThe space between
Our calm and rage
Started growing shorter
Disappearing slowly, day after dayI was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonderThe 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 thisBut 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 thisThe time between
Those cutting words
Built up our defenses
Never made no sense, it just made me hurtDo you believe

That time heals all wounds?
It started getting better
But it's easy not to fight when I'm not with youI was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonderThe 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 thisBut 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 thisWhat was I waiting for?
I should've taken less and given you more
I should've weathered the stormNeed to say so bad
What were you waiting for?
This could have been the best we'd ever hadThe 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 thisBut 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 thisHurts like this
Just getting older
I'm not getting over you
I'm trying to wish it didn't hurt like thisIt's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this
