the older you get, the less you cry

I fell in love at 17

Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams

And I felt her 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

How does anyone make it out better?

Someone tell me the words I should say

How does anyone keep it forever?

I barеly made it through yesterday

I wish I could lovе like I used to love

I wish I could love 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

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

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

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

I wish I could love like I used to love

I wish I could love 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

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

Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry

Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry

I wish I could love like I used to love (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

I wish I could love like when I was young (the less I cry)

It's gettin' easier to say goodbye (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

The older you get, the less you cry (the less I cry)

I wish I didn't give all of me away (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say (the less I cry)

It's gettin' harder as the days go by (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

The older you get, the less you cry (the less I cry)

The older I get, the less that I cry (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

The less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry (the less I cry)

The older I get, the less that I cry (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

The less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry (the less I cry)

I wish I could love like I used to love (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

I wish I could love like when I was young (the less I cry)

It's gettin' easier to say goodbye (ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

The older you get, the less you cry (the less I cry)
