Eldest Daughter Lyrics
[00:13.05] Everybody's so punk on the internet
[00:16.29] Everyone's unbothered til they're not
[00:19.32] Every joke's just trolling and memes
[00:21.86] Sad as it seems, apathy is hot
[00:25.47] Everybody's cutthroat in the comments
[00:28.65] Every single hot take is cold as ice
[00:31.56] When you found me I said I was busy
[00:34.41] That was a lie
[00:37.57] I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness
[00:42.83] I've been dying just from trying to seem cool
[00:49.60] But I'm not a bad bitch
[00:52.77] And this isn't savage
[00:55.85] But I'm never gonna let you down
[00:59.12] I'm never gonna leave you out
[01:02.20] So many traitors
[01:05.46] Smooth operators
[01:08.31] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[01:11.57] I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now
[01:22.53]
[01:27.51] You know the last time I laughed this hard was
[01:30.86] On the trampoline in somebody's backyard
[01:34.28] I must've been about 8 or 9
[01:36.69] That was the night I fell off and broke my arm
[01:40.17] Pretty soon I learned cautious discretion
[01:43.40] When your first crush crushes something kind
[01:46.33] When I said I don't believe in marriage
[01:49.11] That was a lie
[01:52.21] Every eldest daughter
[01:54.68] Was the first lamb to the slaughter
[01:57.50] So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire
[02:04.35] But I'm not a bad bitch,and this isn't savage
[02:10.55] But I'm never gonna let you down
[02:13.85] I'm never gonna leave you out
[02:17.25] So many traitors,smooth operators
[02:23.38] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[02:26.43] I'm never gonna leave you now,now,now
[02:38.63] We lie back
[02:40.44] A beautiful, beautiful time lapse
[02:43.68] Ferris wheels, kisses and lilacs
[02:46.53] And things I said were dumb
[02:49.50] 'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful,beautiful life that
[02:56.02] Shimmers that innocent light back
[02:59.23] Like when we were young
[03:04.08] Every youngest child felt
[03:06.37] They were raised up in the wild
[03:09.05] But now you're home
[03:12.99] 'Cause I'm not a bad bitch
[03:16.13] And this isn't savage
[03:19.37] And I'm never gonna let you down
[03:22.56] I'm never gonna leave you out
[03:25.85] So many traitors
[03:28.73] Smooth operators
[03:31.65] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[03:35.04] I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now
[03:44.60] Never gonna break that vow
[03:47.66] Never gonna leave you now
[03:52.57] Now I'm never gonna leave you now
[03:56.33]
