Harder Than The First Time

(album: I Am Blake McGrath - 2017)

How did we ever come to this?
You cry and I just sit in silence
What does it mean to be a good man?
When every time you take my hand, I pull us both down again
When did I ever get so mean?
You've done your best try'na give me what I need
How did I make you my enemy?
Letting my ego control me 'til I lose my best friend

In the end, it's you
It's always been you
That's something I can't undo
And I'll do all that I can just to make it through

We'll fight through the battles now
This is our war to win
Can't let it take us down
This time I will defend
How do we keep our love on the front line?
Let's fall even harder than the first time

The heat was hot when we met in Miami
Your loving eyes locked with mine and you had me
I wanna crash into that memory
Love you the way that I didn't, be the man I should be
But I fall back, not being my best
Like all my pride's getting put to the test
I've been projecting bad energy
When every day I've got the chance to love you more than the rest

Don't forget, it's you
It's always been you
That's something I can't undo
And I'll do all that I can just to make it through

We'll fight through the battles now
This is our war to win
Can't let it take us down
This time I will defend
How do we keep our love on the front line?
Let's fall even harder than the first time
Promise to treat you right
Be patient when I should
Hold on you just as tight as I always said I would
How do we keep our love on the front line?
Let's fall even harder than the first time

I would die for you
Take a bullet, coming right for your life
Oh, I'd sacrifice everything for you
You should know I'll be right by your side, yeah

We'll fight through the battles now
This is our war to win
Can't let it take us down
This time I will defend
How do we keep our love on the front line?
Let's fall even harder than the first time
Promise to treat you right
Be patient when I should
Hold on you just as tight as I always said I would
How do we keep our love on the front line?
Let's fall even harder than the first time

Harder than the first time, mmm yeah
