Israa - first but not forever Lyrics

You taught me things I never knew
About myself and about you
Was I foolish to grab at the roses
Before looking for thorns
I won't lie when I say you cross my mind
And the things that we went through
I think I loved
I think I loved you

You were first but not forever
We were meant to fall in love
But we weren't meant to last forever
And I hope you know
I'm letting you go
But I'll hold on to the afterglow

I'll never forget you, never regret you
Never say goodbye
But the words unspoken
Have been spoken tonight
And I want you to be happy
But not happier than me
And not happier than the way
We used to be

You were first but not forever
We were meant to fall in love
But we weren't meant to last forever
And I hope you know
I'm letting you go
But I'll hold on to the afterglow

You were first but not forever
I think I loved
I think I loved you
I think I loved you
And I still do
