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.
