Older One

Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are you the youngest? Or the oldest? I am in the middle, with two younger siblings and one older sister. Sometimes its great not being the oldest! Sometimes I hate it. So I wrote a song about it...

She's the princess
Got all the dresses
She's hard to please.

Sometimes I like her
Sometimes I fight her
Won't let me be.

Though I've tried I can't
Wish my life away
You can't pick your family
And I guess I've done okay.......

Its hard to suceed when you're being compared
She's done it all before, but why do I still care?
How do you know, if you're the best that's come?
If you're not the Older One.

Hogging the phone
She's always in the know
Compared to me

Thought her room's a mess
I'm the one who'll stress
But that's just me

I might get told to do
Things I'd rather not
But when it comes to siblings
You'll never be forgot...

It's hard to suceed when you're being compared
She's done it all before, but why do I still care?
How do you know, if you're the best that's come?
If you're not the Older One.

Life's a hopscotch
I just can't keep up
I edge a little closer
It's always not enough
It's not her fault or mine
But she's always far away
Why can't I be just once
Older for a day.........

It's hard to suceed when you're being compared
She's done it all before, but why do I still care?
How do you know, if you're the best that's come?
If you're not the Older One.

Older One
Older One...
Older One...
Older One.

So that's my Older One song. I'll write tomorrow!

  3. I'm the youngest of three, 12 years younger than my sister, 14 years younger than my brother. It's almost like being an only child!;oD
