Older

Older now and I finally know how to drive
I make my own money, now look at me survive
I got the feeling that you never thought I'd be alright, yeah

Well, ain't you proud that I'm standin' up on my own feed?
Done every single little thing I wanted to achieve
But I get the feeling that you find it hard to believe

You were there
Through it all from the start all the way to 18
The mistakes, broken hearts, always tried to fix me
But I just think it's time that you let me leave (let me leave)

'Cause I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
(Even if it hurts)
Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own
(Doesn't mean I'm gone)

Gonna miss those days with the radio on
Gonna miss that place, gonna miss the songs
But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
No, you can't keep holdin'-

I got a key then I bought us both a place to live
Yeah, I got problems and I solve 'em like I never did
I do it all but you still say I got more to give

Oh, do you remember being my age?
Well, look back on how you behaved
I was there when your mother said the same thing
You're saying to me (and I'm gettin' older)

'Cause I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
(Even if it hurts)
Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own
(Doesn't mean I'm gone)

Gonna miss those days with the radio on
Gonna miss that place, gonna miss the songs
But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on

Might get my heart broke, might end up back home
But I just need you to know that you gotta let me do it on my own
Might get my heart broke, might end up back home
But I just need you to know that you gotta let me do it on my own

'Cause I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
Oh, you gotta let go (need you to know)
Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own
I can do this on my own (gotta let me go)

Gonna miss those days with the radio on
Gonna (whoa) miss that place gonna miss the songs
But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
('Cause I'm older)

No, you can't keep holdin'-
