I'm liking the woman that little by little I've managed to rescue
You were right when you said that day
I had to change boyfriend and partner
I had to start from zero and rip you out by the roots
I should've known that when you saw me happiest
You were gonna come back for me
Was never first, it was always in third place
You and then you and afterward me if I even crossed your mind
It was never first, it was like walking around single
I'm in love and sure that I don't want to see you anymore
Don't even worry about how I'm doing
Let the next one worry you
And what did you expect from this stray dog
That they taught him everything except to love
I f*cked up because I let fear speak
And I kept quiet about what must not be kept quiet
And while you think that I'm thinking about the next one
I'm still crying over the memory
I was so cowardly when I had you right in front of me
I didn't stop your leaving
It was always first, it was never in third place
And then you if you remembered to love yourself
It was always first, it was never in third place
You're in love and sure that you don't wanna see me anymore
And even though it doesn't matter now, babe
If it's not you, there won't be a next one
Was never first, it was always in third place
You and then you and afterward me if I even crossed your mind
It was always first, it was never in third place
You're in love and sure that you don't wanna see me anymore
Don't even worry about how I'm doing
Let the next one worry you
