​older Lyrics by Devon Gabriella

From the Next Room

2023

[Verse 1]
You're not supposed to hear your mother cry
Walls get thinner late at night
Know not to ask, so I kept quiet
Shouldn't understand it, but I did
'Cause life don't care about your innocence
Treadin' water ever since

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'd like to say I've changed
But nothing's really different
I'm feelin' twice my age

[Chorus]
I didn't ask to get older
But I was pushed through the door and
Air has started getting colder
I've been fightin' to get back in
Oh, I wonder where the time goеs
I just float where the wind blows
All this wеight upon my shoulders
Didn't ask to get older

[Verse 2]
Was a teenage dream, we're actin' twenty-one
Runnin' double time around the sun
Thought these years were gonna be more fun

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'd like to say I've changed
But nothing's really different
I'm feelin' twice my age

[Chorus]
I didn't ask to get older
But I was pushed through the door and
Air has started getting colder
I've been fightin' to get back in
Oh, I wonder where the time goes
I just float where the wind blows
All this weight upon my shoulders
Didn't ask to get older

[Bridge]
Oh, didn't ask to get older
Oh, didn't ask to get older
Oh, didn't ask to get older
Oh, didn't ask to get older

[Outro]
I tried to tell them, I was just a kid
But life don't care about your innocence
