I hope she makes you happier than you've ever been
She'll be your greatest treasure and your best friend
Just remember when you're holding onto her
I loved you first

Don't need no explanation, no apology
I knew from the beginning you weren't mine to keep
Doesn't mean I don't wish you were
I loved you first

It's hard not to be jealous of everything she has
But I don't hate her - who could blame her
For taking your hand
But if I'm being honest I can't help but understand
Like only a mother can

I never knew that it could feel so bittersweet
To know that everything works out the way it's supposed to be
But I promise it's more of a blessing than a curse
To love you first

It's hard not to be jealous of everything she has
But I don't hate her - who could blame her
For taking your hand
But if I'm being honest I can't help but understand
Like only a mother can
Yeah I do like only a mother can

From the day that you were born until my dying breath
I'll look back on this heart you wrecked with no regrets
Cuz for a moment I was your whole world
cnd I loved you first
I loved you first
