First Man
Betrayed Promises: The First Man's Heartache
Lyrics
I'll never look into your eyes again
I will never have the same connection with you again by looking into your eyes.
I'll never hold hold your hand
I will never hold your hand again.
Cause all of those things you promised me
All the promises you made to me, you disregarded and abandoned.
You threw them in the sand
You discarded the commitments and promises like they were nothing.
We're never gonna be the same again
Our relationship is permanently changed, and you ensured it.
You made pretty damn sure of that
You took deliberate actions to make sure our relationship won't be the same.
Oh you know
Recognition of the impact and consequences of the actions.
The first man in the world
You were the first significant person in my life.
'Sorry that I couldn't be there for you'
An apology for not being there, expressing regret.
Was what you said to me
You apologized, but it was insincere or false.
But you were always lying
You were consistently dishonest.
I'm so done with trying
I am exhausted from trying to make things work.
And I'm done with all the mess you made
Expressing finality and being done with the problems caused.
I'm pretty damn sure of that
Confidence in the decision to move on from the mess.
Oh you know
Reiteration of being the first significant person in my life.
The first man in the world
Reaffirmation of the significance of the person.
First man
Repeated emphasis on being the first significant person.
First man
-First man
-Man in the world
-First man
-First man
-First man
-Man in the world
-Don't hate me
Expressing the pain of being replaced and the end of the relationship.
Replace me
-I'm not the one for you
-I'm hurting
-Cause I'm human
-But it's not over you
-You're a liar
-Oh, I'm so tired
-You're a liar
-Oh, good luck to the next one
-I don't know why I'm letting you get to me
Difficulty in saying goodbye.
It's hard to say goodbye
The emotional challenge of parting ways.
But I really need to
The necessity of saying goodbye.
And I don't really need you, yeah
Not needing the person anymore.
It's mad to see what we've been through
Reflection on the tumultuous journey with the person.
I'm pretty damn sure of that
Repeated affirmation of being the first significant person.
Oh you know
-The first man in the world
-First man
-First man
-First man
-Man in the world
-First man
-First man
-First man
-Man in the world
Final emphasis on the person's significance.
Don't hate me
Expressing feelings of being replaced and the pain of the breakup.
Replace me
-I'm not the one for you
-I'm hurting
-Cause I'm human
-But it's not over you
-You're a liar
-Oh, I'm so tired
-You're a liar
-Oh, good luck to the next one
-Reaching out
Efforts to save the person despite having nothing left.
Trying to save you
-But now, I've got nothing left to lose
-I have always been trying to save you
-But now, I've got nothing left to lose
-I've got nothing left to lose
Acceptance of having nothing left to offer.
I've got nothing left to lose
-I've got nothing for you
No remaining emotions or support for the person.
Don't hate me
Reiteration of the pain of being replaced and the exhaustion from lies.
Replace me
-I'm not the one for you
-I'm hurting
-Cause I'm human
-But it's not over you
-You're a liar
-Oh, I'm so tired
-You're a liar
-Oh
