I used to shut my door

When my mother screamed in the kitchen

只留媽媽獨自在廚房叫喊

I'd turn the music up

我把音樂開的超大聲

Get high and try not to listen

To every little fight

大大小小的爭吵

'Cause neither one was right

我們都不承認是自己錯了

I swore to never be like them

我發誓永遠不會變成像他們一樣的人

But I was just a kid back then

但那時我年紀尚小 無能為力

The older I get, the more that I see

年紀漸長 閲歷增多

My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

我明白 父母也不是神 我們都只是普通人

And loving is hard, it don't always work

You just try your best not to get hurt

I used to be mad, but now I know

我曾無法理解 但現在我明白

Sometimes it's better to let someone go

有時候放下是更好的選擇

It just hadn't hit me yet

當時的我閲歷尚淺

The older I get

I used to wonder why

Why they could never be happy

And pray for a whole 'nother family

Where everything was fine

One that felt like mine
