Eldest Child Lyrics

Every day is a struggle

So be proud of yourself for continuing on

Big dreams in a big city

Getting lost in the crowd is how you know you belong

Small steps in the right direction, you work to right all your wrongs

But you're not to blame for growing up and moving on

Try putting yourself first for the first time

Shed the shame that you've lived in your whole life

You can't control what's beyond your fingertips

You're not beholden to the ghosts of your past

Your mind will learn to be kind

Everything will turn out fine

Time to take the advice you give to your loved ones

Treat yourself with the same forgiveness and love

Stop being ruled by perfection

Enjoy happiness as it happens

And remember there's still so much more to come

Try putting yourself first for the first time

Let go of the guilt that you've lived with your whole life

You can't control what's beyond your fingertips (oh whoa)

You're not beholden to the ghosts of your past

Your mind will learn to be kind

Everything will turn out fine

You'll find solace in the eye of the storm

And though it hurts sometimes, you will find a place to call home
