Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I guess that I was scared of what I was before us

I guess that I was scared of who I was before love

But now that I found it again

Finding myself in the wreckage

Wondering where I have been

Guess you are my only blemish

And now I see the things that I tried to hide

And now I see the things that bring me to life

[Verse 2]

And for the first time, I don't mind that you've found somebody else

And for the first time, I'm totally fine being by myself

And for the first time, I don't mind that you've found somebody else

And for the first time, I'm totally fine being by myself

[Verse 3]

I guess I thought I was my best when I was with you

I guess that lonely was my only way to break through

But now that I found it again

Finding myself in the wreckage

Wondering where I have been

Guess you are my only blemish

And now I see the things that I tried to hide

And now I see the things that bring me to life

[Verse 4]

And for the first time, I don't mind that you've found somebody else

And for the first time, I'm totally fine being by myself

And for the first time, I don't mind that you've found somebody else

And for the first time, I'm totally fine being by myself

[Verse 5]

And if I told you that the old you was my everything

Would you believe me if I told you that I'm over it?

And if I told you that the old you was my everything

Would you believe me if I told you that I'm over it?

[Verse 6]

But now I see the things that I tried to hide

And now I see the things that bring me to life

[Verse 7]

And for the first time, I don't mind that you've found somebody else

And for the first time, I'm totally fine being by myself

And for the first time, I don't mind that you've found somebody else

And for the first time, I'm totally fine being by myself

By myself

By myself
