[Verse]
I’m the one they call the leader
The top of the chain
The weight of the world
Yeah
It’s carved in my name
Everyone’s watching
I’m cracking inside
But I smile like a pro
Let the tears collide
[Prechorus]
Hold my breath
Keep it steady
But my heart's not ready
Why's the oldest always heavy
[Chorus]
I hate myself 'cause I’m the oldest
Carrying flames while they stay the coldest
Climbing the hill just to see no summit
The world spins fast but I’m stuck
I plummet
I’m the oldest
Yeah
I’m the oldest
[Verse 2]
They say be the strong one
Be the wise
But my mirrors just show tired eyes
I’m a rock in the river
Eroding away
They cheer for me but I can't stay
[Prechorus]
Take a step
Keep it steady
But my soul's not ready
Why's the oldest always heavy
[Chorus]
I hate myself 'cause I’m the oldest
Carrying flames while they stay the coldest
Climbing the hill just to see no summit
The world spins fast but I’m stuck
I plummet
I’m the oldest
Yeah
I’m the oldest
