Verse 1 You called me “the one” like it meant something real, Then forgot how to act when I started to feel. Funny how love was just easy for you When it didn’t require you to actually choose. You liked me in pictures, in perfect-lit nights, But not in the mornings when we had to fight. You wanted my heart, but only half the mess, Like I was a game you could almost pass the test. Pre-Chorus And I kept quiet, kept making excuses for you, Like maybe someday you’d learn what to do. But “someday” never showed up in your plans, Just empty words slipping out of your hands. Chorus I loved you harder than you ever deserved, You loved me lighter than your own damn words. Now I’m laughing at the way you pretended to care, Like love was something you could half-way wear. You were my first love, my biggest mistake, The kind of heart you don’t know how to break. But I’m done crying over someone like you— Who couldn’t even give me half of the truth. Verse 2 You text me “hey” like nothing went wrong, Like you didn’t teach me how to turn my pain into a song. You want access to me like I’m still yours to use, But I upgraded from the version you abused. I remember nights where I begged you to stay, And you loved how easy it was to walk away. Now I see it clearly, it wasn’t confusion or fear— You just liked me best when I wasn’t near. Pre-Chorus And I don’t miss you the way I said I would, I miss who I was when I thought you could. But that girl’s gone, she doesn’t reply, She learned your love was just a pretty goodbye. Chorus I loved you harder than you ever deserved, You loved me lighter than your own damn words. Now I’m laughing at the way you pretended to care, Like love was something you could half-way wear. You were my first love, my biggest mistake, The kind of heart you don’t know how to break. But I’m done crying over someone like you— Who couldn’t even give me half of the truth. Bridge (soft → building) Maybe I was too much, Maybe you were too little. Maybe love isn’t supposed To always feel like a riddle. But I finally see what I couldn’t before— You don’t deserve access to me anymore. Final Chorus I loved you harder than you ever deserved, Now I’m stronger than every word you curved. I’m not yours to miss, not yours to defend, I’m not your almost, not your “what could’ve been.” You were my first love, now you’re just a phase, A lesson I learned in a thousand ways. And if I could go back, I’d still choose me too— Instead of the version I became loving you. Outro Funny how first love feels like forever… Until it doesn’t.
