Love You First Lyrics

It takes a certain place and time

When two full hearts collide

If we'd only known this sign

We could have saved the hurt

I didn't know a wounded heart

Could keep breaking apart

Each new love in its wake

Cause a beautiful life

Doesn't make a beautiful life

That's why him and I, we couldn't work

There's something that he needed to find

And when he does he'll know his worth

But he couldn't love me

So I'm going to love me

And before you love me

Love you first

What he thought I wanted to hear

Wasn't what I wanted to hear

I wanted his truth and that's what's real

The void he kept on trying to fill

With empty words and promises

Only broke his heart, tried to take mine too

Cause a beautiful life

Doesn't make a beautiful life

That's why him and I, we couldn't work

There's something that he needed to find

And when he does he'll know his worth

But he couldn't love me

So I'm going to love me

And before you love me

Love you first

We don't have to play this game

Life's too short to turn away

But things stay the same until we change

It might take another time and place

A new chapter a new face

To create the kinda love that's going to work

Gotta let the past go

But keep the lessons so close

You can lean in again to what you're worth

Cause a beautiful life

Starts with a beautiful sign

That's why you and I are going to work

We've taken all the time to learn

What's going to make this love burn

I'm going to love me

(I'm gonna love me)

I'm going to love you

(Gonna love you baby)

You're going to love me

But love you first

Love You

Love You First

Love you

Love you first

Love you

Love you first

Love you

Love you first

Love You

Love You first

Love you

Love you first

Love you

Love you first
