My brain can not understand
That the man I knew is dead
And the one who killed him
Stands in front of me

Because the two
Inhibit the same body
In all my time loving
I have learned
That men
Need love
Just as much as women
I could kiss a million men
Or never let another touch my skin

But none of it changes the fact
That it's you
That it always has, always was and always is
You.
She always said "I love you" first.
She-
I love you always
She-
Always first
She-
said always
She-
said "I love you" first
She-
always said I love you
She-
I love
She-
I love always
She-
First love

You.
I love you always.
You can't erase me
Not after the way I loved you

You don't get to forget me
I don't get why we think drinking numbs the pain
Because no matter the amount
You're still consuming my brain
It took me
Sitting on a floor
In a strange apartment
With a man I didn't know
Thinking about just how much I didn't want to be there
That finally helped me understand
Why humans so desperately chased love

Because with all the fear and unknown
Even in the risk of heartbreak
I just wanted to be held by a man
Who wanted to also hold me in the morning
