Older Lyrics by Keke Leta

MELTING IN THE FIRE

2021

I used to shut my door while my father screamed in the kitchen
I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
To every fight, 'cause neither one was right

I swore i never be like him
But i was just a kid back then

The older i get the more that i see
My dad isn't a hero, he's just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
I just try my best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now i know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit mе yet
The older i gеt

I used to wonder why, why he could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for whole' nother father
When everything was fine, one that felt like mine

I swore i never be like him
But i was just a kid back then

The older i get the more that i see
My dad isn't a hero, he's just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
I just try my best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now i know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older i get

The older i get the more that i see
My dad isn't a hero, he's just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
I just try my best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now i know
Sometimes it better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older i get
