Backstory:
It may not workout that you are someone's "FIRST", but you can love them so good, it'll feel you were!
Wrote this with my good friend Ash Collins... he showed up to the session talking about the girl coming into town that had broken up with her boyfriend and he felt like he had a chance now, he had always loved her from a far.
Lyrics:
Couldn't Be First
V1
I can see it in your eyes
He really did it this time
Ya wanna sink into the blue
But that ain’t you
No I can tell
that girl I know, she aint gone
She’s still shinin’ through
CH
It would’ve been beautiful to be your first
But I ain’t second guessin
Ain't even gonna count the times
I fought my heart to keep a distance
But I’ve watched long enough
The girl I love gettin’ hurt
No,ain’t mad about the past
If good guys finish last
I couldn't be first
V2
You're just a shotgun trophy
In his Chevrolet
He's never cared about you
Not like I do
I'm praying
It's just a ride, just some time you're takin'
Leading us to the truth
CH
It would’ve been beautiful to be your first
But I ain’t second guessin
Ain't even gonna count the times
I fought my heart to keep a distance
But I’ve watched long enough
The girl I love gettin’ hurt
No, ain’t mad about the past
If good guys finish last
I couldn't be first
I couldn’t be first
Bridge
Couldn’t be the first that had you drawing little hearts
Had you wishin’ on shootin’ stars
No I couldn’t be your first
But I’ll be the one lovin' you so good
It’ll feel like I was
CH
It would’ve been beautiful to be your first
But I ain’t second guessin
Ain't even gonna count the times
I fought my heart to keep a distance
But I’ve watched long enough
The girl I love gettin’ hurt
No ain’t mad about the past
If good guys finish last
I couldn't be first
