[Verse 1]
You showed up with a photograph
Edges curled like a question mark
Same crooked smile
Same tired eyes
I laughed it off
Till I saw my face inside
All the years I held this house
Like it might fall if I let go
Every birthday
Every late night
I was the first light on
Thought that’s all I’d ever know
[Chorus]
Now I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still me
Just a second story
Built on everything I used to be
You took a place
I didn’t know was empty in my life
And it shakes me to my core
I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still mine
[Verse 2]
You talk about a different town
Same last name on a different door
Two Christmas trees
Two missing seats
All the silence
I never knew I bargained for
Do you hate the years we lost
Or thank the stars we got this day?
I’m jealous of
The time you had
And terrified
You might take my place
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still me
Just a second story
Built on everything I used to be
You fill a space
I guarded like it kept me all alive
And it shakes me to my core
I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still mine
[Bridge]
Who was I
If I wasn’t watching over everyone? (oh)
Will you see
All the versions of the girl I’ve had to become?
Can there be
Room for both our names on this one line?
If I share this crown
Do I still shine?
[Chorus]
I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still me
Just a second story
Built on everything I used to be
You’re a new thread
Woven through the fabric of my life
Yeah it breaks and makes me whole
At the same time
I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still me
I’m a second sun
Still burning in the same old sky
You took a place
I didn’t know was empty in my life
And I’m learning to be more
I’m not the oldest anymore
But I’m still mine (still mine)
