[ Featuring Emily Shackelton ]
I hope she makes you happier than you've ever been
She'll be your greatest treasure and your best friend
I can't help but 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 never wished you were
I loved you first
Though I could be jealous of everything she has
You know I only lover her more for taking your hand
And if I'm being honest, I can't help but understand
Like only a mother can
I never knew that I could feel so bittersweet
To know that everything ends up the way it's supposed to be
But it's worth it watching you live the life that you deserve
I loved you first
Though I could be jealous of everything she has
You know I only love her more for taking your hand
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 wouldn't change a thing, I dont have one regret)
And for a moment I was your whole world
I loved you first
Oh, I loved you, I loved you first
