If you’re listening to this song
I hope you know it’s about you
If you’re listening to this song
I hope you’re proud of me
I hope you really are

If you’re listening to this song
I hope that you won’t cry
Instead smile in your heart
Hope that’s where you kept me
In the first love’s special place
Because it’s you
Because of you

I was able to write my first love song
Able to write my first heartbreak
Able to miss someone
so much my tears would just
speak on my behalf
Because of you
I became who I am today

Won’t you please forgive me
I ain’t trying to cause no trouble
What can I do cuz what I do
won’t let me forget you
I’m sorry baby
Cuz your touch became a melody
And your love became a harmony
And the way we said goodbye
became the beat that drove my song

I was able to write my first love song
Able to write my first heartbreak
Able to miss someone
so much my tears would just
speak on my behalf
Because of you
I became who I am today

[Rap]
Dear love it’s been a minute
I know you’re doing well I’ve seen
your greatness from the beginning
I can’t help but to be jealous
cuz you’re winning
I see you taking strides
You’re a star
and I’m feeling lost with
both my eyes on the prize
Well prepared for what’s in store
You deserve the world
I hope it’s yours
With our hearts wide
open and we’ve gone
through separate doors
Girl as long as your smile
is shining bright Know I’ll be ok
Your direction is destiny All faith

Everytime I remember what we used to be
I find a smile on my face
Because of you

I was able to write my first love song
Able to write my first heartbreak
Able to miss someone
so much my tears would just
speak on my behalf

Because of you
I became who I am today
Because of you
I became who I am today
Because of you
I became who I am today
I became who I am today
