Eldest Daughter Lyrics
[00:13.17] Everybody's so punk on the internet
[00:16.11] Everyone's unbothered 'til they're not
[00:19.36] Every joke's just trolling and memes
[00:21.89] Sad as it seems, apathy is hot
[00:25.54] Everybody's cutthroat in the comments
[00:28.70] Every single hot take is cold as ice
[00:31.76] When you found me, I said I was busy
[00:34.56] That was a lie
[00:37.72] I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness
[00:43.09] I've been dying just from trying to seem cool
[00:49.58] But I'm not a bad bitch
[00:52.89] And this isn't savage
[00:55.82] But I'm never gonna let you down
[00:59.01] I'm never gonna leave you out
[01:02.32] So many traitors
[01:05.40] Smooth operators
[01:08.46] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[01:11.53] I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now
[01:27.53] You know, the last time I laughed this hard was
[01:30.86] On the trampoline in somebody's backyard
[01:34.20] I must've been about 8 or 9
[01:36.81] That was the night
[01:37.95] I fell off and broke my arm
[01:40.31] Pretty soon I learned cautious discretion
[01:43.24] When your first crush crushes something kind
[01:46.63] When I said I don't believe in marriage
[01:49.27] That was a lie
[01:52.31] Every eldest daughter
[01:54.63] Was the first lamb to the slaughter
[01:57.73] So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire
[02:04.53] But I'm not a bad bitch
[02:07.61] And this isn't savage
[02:10.74] But I'm never gonna let you down
[02:13.89] I'm never gonna leave you out
[02:17.11] So many traitors
[02:20.18] Smooth operators
[02:23.18] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[02:26.55] I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now
[02:38.95] We lie back
[02:40.50] A beautiful, beautiful time-lapse
[02:43.75] Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs
[02:46.61] And things I said were dumb
[02:49.70] 'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful, beautiful life that
[02:56.16] Shimmers that innocent light back
[02:59.23] Like when we were young
[03:04.13] Every youngest child felt
[03:06.44] They were raised up in the wild
[03:09.09] But now you're home
[03:12.94] 'Cause I'm not a bad bitch
[03:16.28] And this isn't savage
[03:19.24] And I'm never gonna let you down
[03:22.55] I'm never gonna leave you out
[03:25.90] So many traitors
[03:28.79] Smooth operators
[03:31.76] But I'm never gonna break that vow
[03:34.95] I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now
[03:44.61] Never gonna break that vow
[03:47.53] Never gonna leave you now, now
[03:55.37] I'm never gonna leave you now
[03:58.35]
