"Only Child" lyrics

Got your own space, don't have to share
Got their attention and their time
Only child
No one to argue with
No sister taking your clothes, they're all mine
Only child

And then you get older
And your Daddy's going grey
And you're the only one to notice
The new lines on your Mama's face
And wonder who do you ask, who do you go to
Who's got your back, who really knows you
Used to not have to, and now you don't get to
Share it with no one
And damn it's lonely
Only child

Can't get away with nothing good or bad
They always got their eyes
On the only child
They put you first, gave you their world
Feels like you're the only one in it sometimes
Only child

And then you get older
And your Daddy's going grey
And you're the only one to notice
The new lines on your Mama's face
And wonder who do you ask ,who do you go to
Who's got your back, who really knows you
Used to not have to, and now you don't get to
Share it with no one
And damn it's lonely
Only child

To love and one day grieve
The only living legacy
Keeper of the memories
It's only me

'Cause when you get older
And you've always known your place
It kinda leaves you nowhere
When you're the only one left some day
And wonder who do you ask, who do you go to
Who's got your back, who really knows you
Used to not have to, and now you don't get to
Share it with no one
And damn it's lonely
Only child
Only child
