Everybody pushed me away from you.
Told me you were wrong, you pulled me down,
that before you I was a brighter spirit.
Everyone said you were my first love-
you meant so much because nobody else
had ever meant anything.
Everything inside of me felt torn-
I didn't know when it happened
but I lost myself in you.
And everybody that pushed me away,
they were right,
I never wanted to hear it,
but you weren't man enough to hold me tight.
I've lost sleep, thinking I made a mistake
but you couldn't give me the love
I so badly needed to take.
Every night I waited to feel alive again,
Til the night that I met him.
