Record Tracklist

  1. Let Me Be The First -:-- / -:--

Let me say one thing
Before I lose
The nerve to say it
It’s harder than it seems
Three little words
But still I’m shaking

The distance seems
So far to reach
But still

And I know that it might hurt
But I think the chance is worth it
So let me be the first
To say I love you
Because if love is not returned
I still don’t think that’s worse
Than never having learned
To say I love you

There’s no guarantee
That what I offer
Won’t be broken
It’s slowly killing me
Maintaining walls
Against erosion

And though they seem
Too wide to breach
I will

And I know that it might hurt
But I think the chance is worth it
So let me be the first
To say I love you
Because if love is not returned
I still don’t think that’s worse
Than never having courage
To say I love you
