First I Was

Another band's playing out tonight at the Mint

And no one's really going for the music

Oh, it's a guy talking like he's tryna win something

And everyone thinking that they're better than him

I was a fighter when I met you

First, I was an artist

I sleep in an apartment that's paid for

With money that I don't think I'll ever make back

Oh, I was someone else's problem, just waiting to happen

You showed me patience when you shouldn't have

I was a burnout when I met you

First, I was gonna be great

I wish you

Nothing but love

And I'm sorry that I forgot

That I'm just waiting for this bomb to drop

And it's a kamikaze mission, me wanting someone

That I'd stopped looking for you when I met you

First, I was

These days, I only go out to get drunk

Just enough to forget that I'm missing someone

Oh, it's crazy, I was living for the two of us

Then I met you, and I hurt you that bad

I was all out of love when I met you

First, I was tryna get it back

Man, I'm an addict

First, I was against all that

Learning from a toothbrush

About a sugar rush

About sharing beds

And liking getting dirty

Just to wash it from your hands

I'd be tryna get my work done

You'd be sleeping on my legs

I'd be yelling over nothing

You'd be laughing at it

We were freaking out the neighbors

I was treating

You were saving

I was tryna find a sublet

You invited me to stay

You know me more than I do still

And it only haunts me now

Baby, you can be the talker

I have given you my mouth

I wish you

Nothing but love

And I'm sorry that I forgot

That I'm just waiting

I'm just waiting

It's a kamikaze mission, baby

And I've gone fishing
