the older you get, the less you cry

[Verse 1] I fell in love at seventeen Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams And I fell in 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 somethin' in me that day died [Pre-Chorus] How does anyone make it out better? Someone tell me the words I should say How does anyone keep it forever? I barely madе it through yesterday [Chorus] I wish I could love likе I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' 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 gettin' harder as the days go by The older you get, the less you cry [Verse 2] And I don't know what I gotta change No matter what I do, it always ends the same And I'm not givin' up yet But I don't got a whole lot left [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' 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 gettin' harder as the days go by The older you get, the less you cry [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry [Chorus] I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' 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 gettin' harder as the days go by The older you get, the less you cry [Post-Chorus] The older I get, the less that I cry The less that I feel, I'm not gonna lie (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry) The older I get, the less that I cry The less that I feel, I'm not gonna lie (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry) [Outro] I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' easier to say goodbye The older you get, the less you cry
