Lyrics

[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)
