Lyrics

[Intro] I'll apologise, 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 [Verse] 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 rеfuse to move till you do Test mе and I'll prove it, prove it, no [Bridge] And this is what you deserve All my pain in return From this flame to a burn 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 to a burn (So I refuse to move till you do, test me and I'll prove it, no) This is what you deserve [Outro] 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
