I Put You First (& You Did Too)

(álbum: To Love Someone Else - 2020)

I've been doing my best trying to make sense of it
We both know, baby, you were all talk and I fell for it
Every day, again and again, people abuse my kindness
But what I didn't expect to see you be the one behind it

But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me for what I thought you'd never do

But you know I made it look so crazy
Saying that you wanted to protect me
From all of the people that hurt me like you do
'Cause I put you first, and you did too

I've been doing my best writing my own conclusions
Trying to cope with how you could go, leave with no warning (no warning, no warning)
Taking my time, saying I'm fine, and who am I kidding?
And all that I have is confidence that you were not ready

But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me for what I thought you'd never do (no)

But you know I made it look so crazy
Saying that you wanted to protect me
From all of the people that hurt me like you do
'Cause I put you first, and you did too

And you did too (you did too)
And you did too

And all of our fights about who loves who most, I won
At least I'll sleep tonight knowing I never loved you wrong

But you know you made me look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me for what I thought you'd never do (no)

And I know we come from different places
Never tried to change, we just embraced it
Now I see I had a lot in common with you
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
