She was here FIRST

I'm not leaving you because you are not beautiful, it's because she loves me even when I look my worst
I'm not saying you don't have what it takes to love me in my worst, I'm just not ready to face my death when you don't
I'm not saying you don't love me, just saying that she’d catch a bullet for me

Not that you aren't willing to show me how much you, just that I'm not ready to face the regret should you fail
I'm not leaving you because she is better than you, just that I'm a better person with her
Not that with you I'm less of me, just that she has stayed with me through my worst self
Not leaving you because you aren't important to me, just that she has shown how important I am to her
Not leaving you because you don't tell me you love me enough, just that I can see how much she loves me even when she doesn't say a word
Not leaving you because I love you less I just love her more
I'm not leaving you because I'm not willing to love you like I love her, just that she was in my heart first
It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s her
I will always care and perhaps always love you
But for now I want to love just her
