[Verse 1]
I loved you first
Maybe that's when the problem starts
It still hurts
Knowing I was barely in your heart
[Chorus]
And I’ve watched you grow
Oh, I've watched you grow from a distance
And now I know
That there was no way to resist it
[Verse 2]
You've come so far
Just to leave it all behind
So get in your car
And pretend that you never mind
[Chorus]
This is why I shouldn’t love you first
I shouldn't love you first
[Bridge]
And I could've never let you go
I would have held on
And watched the world burn
There was never a love behind your eyes
[Chorus]
This is why
This is why
I shouldn't love you first
Shouldn't love you, oh, at all
Shouldn't love you first
I shouldn't love you, shouldn't love you
