I Loved First - Ricky Alone
You looked at me
Like maybe
This could be
Something
I felt it early in my chest
Before you even second guessed
The way your fingers touched my hand
Like we both didn't understand
I saw a future in your eyes
While you were still deciding why
I let my guarded walls fall down
Before you came around
You were careful taking time
I was already crossing lines
I loved first, I fell fast
Built forever from our past
You were learning how to start
I was giving you my heart
I loved first, I gave more
Opened every hidden door
You were unsure of what it's worth
But I loved first
You said you needed space to think
While I was standing on the brink
Of something deep, like something true
Already choosing you
I memorized the way you smile
Waded through your every trial
But loving early has its costs
When timing is lost
Maybe I moved too soon
Maybe I loved too true
You were just warming up
While I was all in for us
I loved first, I fell fast
Built forever from our past
You were learning how to start
I was giving you my heart
I loved first, I gave more
Opened every hidden door
You were unsure of what it's worth
But I loved first
And now I'm learning how to trust
Not every spark means us
I loved first
And that was enough
