"Older" lyrics

"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 standing up on my own feet
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

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

I got a kid and 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

'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
Gonna miss those days with the radio on
Gonna miss that place gonna miss those 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 (You gotta let go)
Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own (I can do this on my own)
Gonna miss those days with the radio on
Gonna miss that place gonna miss those songs
But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on ('Cause I'm older)
No you can't keep holding
