Got There First
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.
I can't find a smile underneath the pain
Since you've been gone, there's been nothing but rain
I didn't want to be left behind
(Chorus)
I know I'll see you someday
But it's hard to wait
And I know I'll have this heartache
That won't go away
Yeah it hurts
But I know
That you just got there first
I never thought we would run outta time
We were just getting going, we were starting to fly
So many things left undone
(Repeat Chorus)
I know you're waiting on the other side
I guess I'll get there when the time is right
(Repeat Chorus)
