Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ain't the first to realize
You ain't the first to look in my eyes
Over my head and positive
I'll have a gift that I'll never give
You ain't the first, you ain't the first
You ain't the first, you ain't the first
[Verse 2]
Last time I walked down the street
Down the street, I wanted to die
Die fighting here, fighting here
Fighting for my life
[Verse 3]
I walked down the street, down the street
I wanted to die
Die fighting here, fighting here
Fighting for my life
[Verse 4]
When I stumble down the street
Down the street, I wanted to die
Die fighting here, fighting here
Fighting for my life
When I walk down the street
Down the street, I wanted to die
Die fighting here, fighting here
Fighting for my
[Verse 5]
You ain't the first to realize
You ain't the first to look in my eyes
Over my head and positive
I'll have a gift that I'll never give
