[Intro] [Soft piano, eerie synth swells, heartbeat-like percussion]

Oooooooohhh~~
I was first to fall… but the last to know.

[Piano swells into first verse]

[Verse 1] [Soft, intimate, gradually building in intensity]

I gave you everything—my heart, my trust,
You swore forever, but forever’s dust.
Held my hand like you meant it,
Told me love was something endless.

You stole the stars right from my sky,
Left me asking all the reasons why.
Every “I love you” dripped in disguise,
But I was too blind to see the lies.

[Pre-Chorus] [Drums subtly build, harmonies swell]

Did you love me, or just love what I gave?
Did you need me, or just need me to break?
Took the best parts, left nothing inside,
Now I’m standing in the wreckage of a love that died.

[Chorus] [BIG moment—powerful vocals, soaring harmonies, deep drum hits]

I was first to falllllll~~~ [hold note]
And the last to know.
Gave you everything, now I stand alone.
You took my heart, you took my time,
Drained me dry, left me behind.

First to falllllll~~~
But you never fell at all.
Watched me crash while you stood tall,
I was just a game, nothing more.
You were never mine… I was yours.

[Ad-lib: “I was yours… but you were never mine…”]

[Verse 2] [Sharper, angrier, cutting delivery]

Every promise was a perfect crime,
Every word rehearsed in time.
You kissed me slow, but your lips were cold,
Now I see the truth—you were bought and sold.

Did you laugh when I said forever?
Was I just some passing name?
Did you feel anything at all?
Or was I just another flame?

[Chorus - Variation] [Higher, stronger, background harmonies echoing lines]

I was first to falllllll~~~
And the last to know.
Gave you everything, now I stand alone.
You took my heart, you took my time,
Drained me dry, left me behind.

First to falllllll~~~
But you never fell at all.
Watched me crash while you stood tall,
I was just a game, nothing more.
You were never mine… I was yours.

[Ad-lib: “I was yours… but you were never mine…” [soft fading repeat]]

[Bridge] [Stripped-back, haunting piano, floating harmonies]

Maybe love was never love at all.
Maybe I was just a way to break your fall.
Maybe you just needed someone weak,
And I gave you all of me.

[Drums build into final chorus]

[Final Chorus] [Full power—final emotional release!]

I was first to falllllll~~~
And the last to know.
Gave you everything, now I stand alone.
You took my heart, you took my time,
Drained me dry, left me behind.

First to falllllll~~~
But you never fell at all.
Watched me crash while you stood tall,
I was just a game, nothing more.
You were never mine… I was yours.

[Ad-lib: “I was yours… but you were never mine…” [soft breathy whisper]]

[Outro] [Soft piano, breathy harmonized fade-out]

Ooooooooh~~ stayyyyyy~~
[Soft harmonies fading]
I was first to fall… but the last to know.

[Final whisper: “Hold on…” [fade to silence]]
