[Verse 1] 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) [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] 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-) [Verse 2] A foolish game, a foolish kid No subtleties involved with it With those lips no sense bothering (Love) [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] (First, first, first) I loved her first I loved her first I loved her first I loved her first
