Older now and I finally know how to drive
 
 I make my own money now look at me survive
 
 I got the feeling that you never thought I'd be alright, yeah
 
 Well ain't you proud that I'm standing up on my own feet
 
 Done every single little thing I wanted to achieve
 
 But I get the feeling that you find it hard to believe
 
  
  You were there
 
 Through it all from the start all the way to 18
 
 The mistakes, broken hearts, always tried to fix me
 
 But I just think it's time that you let me leave
  
 
 'Cause I'm older now and you can't keep holding on (even if it hurts)
 
 Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own
 
 Gonna miss those days with the radio on
 
 Gonna miss that place gonna miss those songs
 
 But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
 
 No you can't keep holding
  
 
 I got a kid and I bought us both a place to live
 
 Yeah I got problems and I solve 'em like I never did
 
 I do it all but you still say I got more to give
  
 
 Oh, do you remember being my age
 
 Well, look back on how you behaved
 
 I was there when your mother said the same thing
 
 You're saying to me
  
 
 'Cause I'm older now and you can't keep holding on (even if it hurts)
 
 Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own
 
 Gonna miss those days with the radio on
 
 Gonna miss that place gonna miss those songs
 
 But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on
  
 
 Might get my heart broke
 
 Might end up back home
 
 But I just need you to know
 
 That you gotta let me do it on my own
 
 Might get my heart broke
 
 Might end up back home
 
 But I just need you to know
 
 That you gotta let me do it on my own
  
 
 'Cause I'm older now and you can't keep holding on (You gotta let go)
 
 Gotta let me go, I can do this on my own (I can do this on my own)
 
 Gonna miss those days with the radio on
 
 Gonna miss that place gonna miss those songs
 
 But I'm older now and you can't keep holding on ('Cause I'm older)
 
 No you can't keep holding
