Verse 1  

No one talks about a first love  
How it buries you alive  
How it gets into your bloodstream  
Till you’re aching all the time  
I kept pouring out my heart
You just watched it hit the floor  
I was begging for a raindrop  
While you slept through every storm

Pre‑Chorus  

They were right when they warned me  
But I called it destiny  
Now I see it was poison  
Dressed up like a fantasy

Chorus  

I always loved you when you hurt me most  
Held on to the fire just to feel close  
Promised I’d change, like I was the problem  
When you were the person who made me hit rock bottom
You made me believe that I needed you  
But I’m finally seeing the ugly truth  
I was better off never needing to know you  
Better off never needing you

Verse 2  

We were perfect in the first act  
Golden light and movie scenes  
Then the colors started bleeding  
Till it all turned bitter green  
I kept handing you my last chance  
Like a prayer I couldn’t quit  
You kept breaking every promise  
Till my soul couldn’t take it

Pre‑Chorus  

No one ever approved us  
Said we’d crash, I disagreed  
I was betting on your changes  
Now I’m betting back on me

Chorus  

I always loved you when you hurt me most  
Held on to the fire just to feel close  
Promised I’d change, like I was the problem  
When you were the person who made me hit rock bottom
You made me believe that I needed you  
But I’m finally seeing the ugly truth  
I was better off never needing to know you  
Better off never needing you

Bridge  

All those “I’ll do better” lines  
Tattooed on my fragile mind  
You were never gonna try  
I was just afraid to say goodbye  
Now your name’s a ghost I pass  
In the corners of my past  
I survived the love that burned  
I’m the lesson that you learned

Final Chorus  

I always loved you when you hurt me most  
But I put down the fire, I let you go  
I don’t say “I’ll change” just to keep you near  
You were always the storm, I was drowning in fear  
You can keep the lies that I once called truth  
I’m walking away from the wreckage of you  
I was better off never needing to know you  
But I’m best of all now that I’m living without you.
