lyrics

First Born Child

Such a first born child,
Self-entitled and wild
You’re all legs and lipstick,
That’s what matters most
Well, I don’t miss
Drinking in unfinished basements
With friends who made me feel
Less than worthless (I am worth something)

I moved on when I moved out
You took your baggage with you,

But I am not your dirty house
I’m not your broken heart
Or your perpetual unhappiness
I am not your coward friends
I’m not your one night stands,
I am not you or your problems
Bite your bitter tongue,
Still your heaving lungs
And concentrate on being young
Press your fingers to your temples
And concentrate on the good to come

Snow on your lashes
Rosies up your cheeks
You’re all December and frost
Do you know what it means
To be loyal or to love
What right do you have to criticize?

Big girls don’t cry, Big girls don’t cry
But your pouty lips say otherwise
