If You Met Me First

Why do you look at me like that?

Your eyes sayin' things that they can't take back

Feels good, feels right, it don't help

Every night, when the quiet gets loud

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

Your arms around someone else

Every time I'm next to you

I swear that you can feel it too

How long can we do this to ourselves?

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 woulda loved me

If you met me first

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

I can't steal you from somebody else

Just to have you to myself

My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth

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 woulda loved me

If you met me first

I'm not hangin' onto hope

If you do, or if you don't

I don't ever wanna know for sure

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 woulda loved me

If you met me first

You woulda loved me if you met me first

Oh, you woulda loved me if you met me first
