First Light

(Hook / Chorus – first thing you hear)

You looked like a beginning

But you were already the end

I mistook first light

For a place we could begin

Felt like sunrise

But it was just a flare

I fell for forever

That was never really there

You looked like a beginning…

But you were already the end

⸻

(Verse 1)

Met you when the night still clung to the sky

You smiled like peace, but there was war in your eyes

You lit up the dark like the first of June

And I swore the world made sense in that room

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You said just enough to keep me close

Held me like a secret you’d never post

And I should’ve known by how you looked away

That you were already planning not to stay

⸻

(Repeat Chorus)

You looked like a beginning

But you were already the end

I mistook first light

For a place we could begin

Felt like sunrise

But it was just a flare

I fell for forever

That was never really there

You looked like a beginning…

But you were already the end

⸻

(Bridge – stripped and honest)

I replay that moment more than I should

You walked in like hope

But you never meant good

⸻

(Final Chorus – power moment)

You looked like a beginning

And I chased it all the way

Now I’m standing in the wreckage

Of the part you didn’t stay

You burned like morning

Then faded like the night

And I’m left holding

What I thought was right

You looked like a beginning…

But you were already the end
