When you were the first

You say, "Don't waste your time on me when you can be meeting new people," but don't you see that you're irreplaceable. You say you don't want to be just another one of the people on my list of friends I hang out with, but don't you see that you just aren't the same. You say you do it to fill up the emptiness inside, but don't you see that it hurts me too to see what you do. You say you get bitter because it seems like I don't even really care, but don't you see that I do, I just cannot bring myself to tell you. You say you wish you didn't say what you said because it makes you seem like the weaker one, but don't you see that I am not as strong as you make me out to be. You say it's just too hard, but don't you see that it was never meant to be easy.
