Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The walls between you and I
Always pushin' us apart, nothin' left but scars, fight after fight
The space between our calm and rage
Started growing shorter, disappearing slowly day after day
[PreChorus]
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too, and it makes me wonder
[Chorus]
The older I get, will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know that it would hurt like this
But 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 this
[Verse 2]
The time between those cutting words
Built up our defenses, never made no sense, it just made me hurt
Do you believe that time heals all wounds?
It started getting better, but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you
[PreChorus]
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too, and it makes me wonder
[Chorus]
The older I get, will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know that it would hurt like this
But 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 this
[Bridge]
What was I waiting for?
I should've taken less and given you more
I should've weathered the storm
I need to say so bad
What were you waiting for?
This could've been the best we've ever had
Oh
[Verse 3]
The older I get, will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know that it would hurt like this
But 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 this
Hurts like this
[Outro]
I'm just getting older, I'm not getting over you
I'm trying to
I wish it didn't hurt like this
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this
