Getting Older Lyrics

Blu Eyes Getting Older

[Verse 1]
I'm jealous of the kid I used to be
Who'd never had a panic attack or heard of anxiety
And thought getting good grades was everything
I'm living in the same old world but now I see it so differently

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to think by now
I'd have it figured out, but

[Chorus]
I've learned as I get older
The world only gets colder
My heart breaks in brand new places
Every single time, and
I'm getting sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
Watching as the years go floating by
Is this what getting older's likе?
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
Last month I broke down in the grocery storе
Had just checked out then I sat down right there on the floor
I'm not even sure what I was crying for
All I know is, I never used to cry like that before

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting for the day
This'll go away, but

[Chorus]
I've learned as I get older
The world only gets colder
My heart breaks in brand new places
Every single time, and
I'm getting sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
Watching as the years go floating by
Is this what getting older's like?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, ohh
[Outro]
I hope as I get older
Things don't get much colder
And every place that my heart breaks
Is just a small reminder that
I loved a little bigger
Gave all I had to give and
Made the most of every year gone by
Hope that's what getting older's like
