Love is like a tree
The longer you let it grow
The more beautiful it becomes
On the outside
And the stronger it becomes
On the inside

I can't be your first love
The one who's name waits on your tongue
To lash out and remind me
I am small within her shadow

I can't be your first love
With mocha skin
Red wine dripped lips
And the touch that may still creep into your dreams

I can't be the first love
You waited months to kiss
In a firework glow
(I wanted you more, God only knows)

I can't be the first love
Who captured you
With artemis' grace
And her goddess confidence
(Rather, I'm the stumbling deer in your headlights)

I can't be the one
Who coiled around you
Demanded princess treatments
No, I never fit right on a pedestal

I can't be her
Though I've wished I could
When the way you say her name
Holds more than just nostalgia

Now I know she's got the front row seats
Serial effect on her side
But don't put me in the nosebleeds
Cause the previews always come
Before the main event
Yes, I can't be your first love
But I'd love to be second
Who do you think you are
going around spreading rumors about
how I crave for attention,
how I want things I will never get,
how I insulted you about your appearance.
Who do you think you are
telling people how crazy I am,
telling people that I don’t belong here,
telling people about my personal life.
I thought I could trust you.
maybe I’m not the one craving attention.
maybe I did something you didn’t like.
maybe I should have never trusted you
because now I see him.
what’s inside of you,
what’s really going on,
what’s eating you alive.
The temptation that he is feeding you.
he is the reason you are the way you are
he controls you because you let him
he puts words in your mouth that you wish you could take back
And he will forever remain
The devil inside you
I fight for...

I fight for who I want to be in this world.
So many try to fit into society while other choose to stay true to themselves.
He fought for freedom
So that one day his children could also run free.
She fought for righteousness
So that she can have clarity in everything she says.
They fought for their beliefs
So that they make themselves clearer in who they are.
We fight with them
Because we know that we would do the same.

I know you have ears
But when was the last time
You listened to music
