"You First" lyrics

"You First"

I'll apologize, I swear I will
But you first
I'll bring back your smile, your joy to fill
But you first
I'll turn a blind eye while, with your beauty, you beguile
But you first
But you

My deception, I'll admit, all bad habits, I'll quit
But you first
I'll still all my wit, which I offend you with
But you first
I'll put my best foot first, but you start and I'll return
Put me first

It's not fair
You ask me to forgive, but how can I when you don't care?
You say the right things, but when it's time to show up, you're nowhere
So I won't move till you do
Test me and I'll prove it, no

It's not fair
You kiss me, then you leave, you want me, but you're never there
I pour in all of me, you drink it all, but then you disappear
So I refuse to move till you do
Test me and I'll prove it, prove it, no

And this is what you deserve
All my pain in return
From this flame, two are burnt
And this is what you deserve (It's not fair)

This is what you deserve (You kiss me, then you leave, you want me, but you're never there)
All my pain in return (I pour in all of me, you drink it all, but then you disappear)
From this flame, two are burnt (So I refuse to move till you do)
(Test me and I'll prove it, prove it) This is what you deserve

Though my stubbornness hurt me, you don't deserve my mercy
So you first
My revenge, I'll conspire, prisoner of my own ire
But, still, you first
One day I might learn, one's forgiveness, you cannot earn
But till then, you first
Mm, you first
