In a track by track review with Nylon Magazine, Berhe stated:
“First Time,” the last song. I remember when...
[Verse 1]
I guess that I was scared of what I was before us
I guess that I was scared of who I was before love
[Pre-Chorus]
But now that I found it again
Finding myself in the wreckage
Wondering where I have been
Guess you were my only blemish
And now I see the things that I tried to hide
And now I see the things that bring me to life
[Chorus]
And for the first time I don't mind
That you found somebody else
And for the first time I'm totally fine being by myself
And for the first time I don't mind
That you found somebody else
And for the first time I'm totally fine being by myself
[Verse 2]
I guess I thought I was my best when I was with you
I guess that lonely was my only way to break through
[Pre-Chorus]
But now that I found it again
Finding myself in the wreckage
Wondering where I have been
Guess you were my only blemish
And now I see the things that I tried to hide
And now I see the things that bring me to life
[Chorus]
And for the first time I don't mind
That you found somebody else
And for the first time I'm totally fine being by myself
And for the first time I don't mind
That you found somebody else
And for the first time I'm totally fine being by myself
[Bridge]
And if I told you that the old you was my everything
Would you believe me if I told you that I'm over it?
And if I told you that the old you was my everything
Would you believe me if I told you that I'm over it?
[Chorus]
But now I see the things that I tried to hide
And now I see the things that bring me to life
And for the first time I don't mind
That you found somebody else
And for the first time I'm totally fine being by myself
And for the first time I don't mind
That you found somebody else
And for the first time I'm totally fine being by myself
By myself
By myself
