Lyrics

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.

It's never what you say it is

And you're so bad at hiding it

When she talks I know you're listening

(When she talks I know you're listening)

So show me how you ache

Show me how you wanna watch my heart break

Breathing in my words

Like I'll be the one to make your lungs burn

But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first

I loved her first

(Yeah)

And I know, and I know, and I know it hurts

You want me

To only come around

When you're lonely (But)

But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first

(First, first, first)

(But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her-)

A foolish game, a foolish kid

No subtleties involved with it

With those lips no sense bothering (Love)

Tell me what you want

Half the fight is knowing it can't be won, ooh

Breathing in my words

Like I'll be the one to make your lungs burn

But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first

I loved her first (Yeah)

And I know, and I know, and I know it hurts

You want me

To only come around when you're lonely (But)

But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first

(First, first, first)

(But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first)

I've got no place in your arms

You've got no place in mine

And that's why, you want to see me hurt

But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first

I loved her first (Yeah)

And I know, and I know, and I know it hurts

You want me

To only come around when you're lonely (But)

But I can't, but I can't

But I can't cause I loved her first

(First, first, first)

I loved her first

I loved her first

I loved her first

I loved her first
