If You Met Me First

[Verse 1]

Why do you look at me like that?

Your eyes saying things that they can't take back

Feels good, feels right, it don’t help

[Verse 2]

Every night when the quiet gets loud

Hate that I know what you're doin' right now

Your arms around someone else

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Every time I’m next to you

I swear that you can feel it too

How long can we do this to ourselves?

[Chorus]

In a different place and time

Maybe in another life

I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked

We never get the chance to try

And what makes it worse

Is you would have loved me

If you met me first

[Verse 3]

I can't even count all the times I've thought

About the line I'd never cross

But I've crossed that line in my head

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I can't steal you from somebody else

Just to have you to myself

My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth

[Chorus]

In a different place and time

Maybe in another life

I’ll bet that baby you and I would have worked

We never get the chance to try

And what makes it worse

Is you would have loved me

If you met me first

[Bridge]

I’m not hangin' on to hope

If you do or if you don’t

I don't ever wanna know for sure

[Chorus]

In a different place and time

Maybe in another life

I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked

We never get the chance to try

And what makes it worse

Is you would have loved me

If you met me first

[Outro]

'Cause you would have loved me

If you met me first

Oh, you would have loved me

If you met me first
