Eldest Daughter Lyrics
[00:12.70] Everybody's so punk on the internet
[00:15.91] Everyone's unbothered 'til they're not
[00:19.20] Every joke's just trolling and memes
[00:21.83] Sad as it seems, apathy is hot
[00:25.49] Everybody's cutthroat in the comments
[00:28.39] Every single hot take is cold as ice
[00:31.50] When you found me, I said I was busy
[00:34.50] That was a lie
[00:37.47] I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness
[00:43.22] I've been dying just from trying to seem cool
[00:49.66] But I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage
[00:55.38] But I'm never gonna let you down
[00:58.98] I'm never gonna leave you out
[01:02.09] So many traitors, smooth operators
[01:08.11] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[01:11.22] I'm nеver gonna leave you now
[01:16.67] Now, now
[01:27.41] You know, thе last time I laughed this hard was
[01:30.49] On the trampoline in somebody's backyard
[01:33.76] I must've been about eight or nine
[01:36.18] That was the night I fell off and broke my arm
[01:39.98] Pretty soon, I learned cautious discretion
[01:43.10] When your first crush crushes something kind
[01:46.37] When I said I don't believe in marriage
[01:49.14] That was a lie
[01:52.02] Every eldest daughter
[01:54.50] Was the first lamb to the slaughter
[01:57.62] So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire
[02:04.40] But I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage
[02:10.28] But I'm never gonna let you down
[02:13.47] I'm never gonna leave you out
[02:16.70] So many traitors, smooth operators
[02:22.84] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[02:25.95] I'm never gonna leave you now
[02:30.73] Now, now
[02:39.07] We lie back
[02:40.55] A beautiful, beautiful time-lapse
[02:43.43] Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs
[02:46.56] And things I said were dumb
[02:49.55] 'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful, beautiful life that (Ah, ah)
[02:55.85] Shimmers that innocent light back (Uh)
[02:59.03] Like when we were young
[03:03.72] Every youngest child felt
[03:06.23] They were raised up in the wild
[03:09.28] But now you're home
[03:13.19] 'Cause I'm not a bad bitch (Ah)
[03:15.87] And this isn't savage (Ah)
[03:19.08] And I'm never gonna let you down
[03:22.08] I'm never gonna leave you out
[03:25.49] So many traitors, smooth operators (Ah, ah)
[03:31.43] But I'm never gonna break that vow (Never gonna break that vow)
[03:34.98] I'm never gonna leave you now
[03:39.58] Now, now
[03:45.11] Never gonna break that vow (Oh-oh)
[03:47.41] Never gonna leave you now, now
[03:55.04] I'm never gonna leave you now
[04:01.90]
