to love me

Girlfriend
I'm not mad at you
But this conversation
Is long overdue

I came before you
And I know 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 lied 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 love 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

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
And I'm in every one
No point putting it gently
To love you
He needed to love me

To love me
