Skillet - The Older I Get - Acoustic (Lyrics)

Acoustic version of song "The Older I Get" by "Skillet" from album "Comatose". Enjoy!
The walls between you and I
Always pushing us apart
Nothing left but scars fight after fight
The space between our calm and rage
Started growing shorter,
Disappearing slowly day after day
Chorus 2:
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder
Chorus 1:
The older I get
Will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then 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
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
Chorus 2:
Chorus 1:
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 have been the best we've ever had
Chorus:
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

Time doesn't heal all wounds, it just makes you forget the pain you felt.

[@unfairjarl]

Time may not heal all wounds but time give you the opportunity of changing thing.
So don't waste it, do what you always wanted to do but do not hurt other people it always give it back to you and it hurts everybody.
Don't waste your time fighting with people you love because when you lose them you realize how much you love them.
Don't waste your time and live your live at the maximum.
Don't waste your time because life is too short to hate.
Don't waste your time because it will not always be enough time to forgive.
Live your life with people you love that the message of skillet.
That the good side of humanity
And as long people will do this, it will always be hope for humanity
Live with people you love and don't waste your time, because one day you will regret it
Be with the people you love and if it is something after this short but amazing time on earth I'm sure you will be with them.
Don't forget even if you think you're alone you're not.
There is hope for everybody.
Even the worst one.
Don't give up on life.
Because as long as you hold on good thing will happened to you.
So don't give up and live your life with people you love.

[@cherokeeINK]

I've met her 2 years ago, we've been dating since then with many fights and break-ups, and this song discribes my feelings perfectly. I love her and i hope she makes her mind up because i can't get over it.. i hope she sees this.

[@chelstarheartful]

"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"
I can relate to this too much, not too long ago my brother joined the Army and was sent out to war a few weeks ago he was shot and killed. he died thinking I hated him....

[@decoenrobbe2201]

if you ever need help add me on fb to talk about it this is my name Robbe DeCoen i hope i can help you

[@skilletfan4575]

Alexis Clark I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure he knows that you still love him. Siblings always say they hate each other. My sister and I say that all the time, but no matter how much we say it. We still love each other. And as I said earlier, I'm sure he knows you still love him.

I'm praying that a girl I asked out to day will say yes

[@AustinVocals]

[@luckyspark2748]

I guess we'll never know.

[@zaikohaitsugi5781]

It's been 3 years since then, ha.

[@DawsOrbital]

"I guess we'll let imagination play us the part.
Like fools in wool, we'll talk up a storm.
About how our man-this man-made good,
made off
with the one,
his love." -Unknown

[@bloodied_syringes]

Please tell us she said yes-

[@themidnightblue18]

Can totally relate to this song. I've decided to cut ties with my verbally abusive parents. I couldn't keep pretending that I was okay when I wasn't.

[@TheMrBaSSa]
