First Lyrics by The Ready Set

I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love (Target Edition)

2016

[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, 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, 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 have no place in your arms
You've got no place in mine
And that is 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, 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

[Hook]
(First, first, first)
I loved her first
I loved her first
I loved her first
I loved her first
