The First One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe one day
We'll both get there
A place where we could finally be friends
Maybe next year
Or maybe never
But I'd rather not be dwelling on the end
You call me up
I don't answer unless I'm drunk and feeling reckless
I swear to God
When you're bored you wanna mess with me
And you get to me
Like you always do
You were the first, but you won't be the last
You wanna hold me, but you're holding me back
And you were the first one to know me like that
So when you hurt me, you hurt me so bad
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
I hope that one day
You won't wait for me
So when I come crawling back you won't be there
I hope you realize
After everything
You should leave me alone if you really cared
You call me up
I don't answer unless I'm drunk and feeling reckless
I swear to God
When you're bored you wanna mess with me
And you get to me
Like you always do
You were the first, but you won't be the last
You wanna hold me, but you're holding me back
And you were the first one to know me like that
So when you hurt me, you hurt me so bad
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
You hurt me so bad (you were the first one)
Maybe one day (I hope that one day)
We'll both get there (you won't wait for me)
A place where we could finally be friends (so when I come crawling back you won't be there)
Maybe next year (I hope you realize)
Or maybe never (after everything)
But I'd rather not be dwelling on the end (you should leave me alone if you really cared)
