to love me

Girlfriend, I'm not mad at you

But this conversation is long overdue

I came before you

I know that you wish you could change it

But some things you can't

It's been so many years of this bitterness

All that I ask is that you understand

Oh, that I was the one who taught him how to open his heart

And he learned how to hold you so good 'cause he lay in my arms

I'm not saying we need to be friends, but we shouldn't be enemies

'Cause to love him is to love me

Can you tell me what's the point of this?

I don't want him

He's just a friend I miss

You can cry if you want

Paint me red, cut me off

But deep down he knows I'm baby blue

Pictures hung on the walls

And the first one he calls

Rest assured, it'll always be you

Oh, but I was the one who taught him when it's time to go home

So I guess you could say that his values are partly my own

Oh, and I'm not tryna take credit, I just wanna help you see

That to love him is to love me

Yeah, to love him is to love me

Ooh, oh, oh

You can try to hate me

Shit-talk and erase me

But to love him, you see

Is to love all his gold core memories

I'm in every one

No point putting it gently

To love you he needed to love me, yeah

To love me, yeah

To love me
