the older you get, the less you cry

I fell in love at seventeen 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 something 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 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 getting 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 getting 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 giving 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 getting 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 getting 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 I wish I could love like when I was young It's getting 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 getting harder as the days go by The older you get, the less you 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 getting easier to say goodbye (ooh-ooh, ah-ah) The older you get, the less you cry (the less I cry)
