Lyrics:

You’re
All i ever wanted
So how come I’m still haunted
By these thoughts inside my head

You love me
but no matter what you say
There’s only one of two ways
that this is gonna end

Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies

i hope i die first
Cause i don’t wanna live without you
I don’t wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep you without you
Tell me what’s worse
Losing you now or later?
Maybe i can break the curse
And I can be in love forever
If i die first
I hope i die first
I can be in love forever if i die first

You’re my fire and my safety
You’d never mean to break me
And That’s why I’m afraid

Cause some day everybody’s leaving
You promise that you’ll stay
But that’s a promise you can’t make

Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies

I hope i die first
Cause i don’t wanna live without you
I don’t wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep you without you
Tell me what’s worse
Losing you now or later?
Maybe i can break the curse
And I can be in love forever
If i die first
I hope i die first
I can be in love forever if i die first

If I die first
I hope I die first
I can be in love forever

Love forever
Love forever

If I die first
Can’t escape it that’s how it works
Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies

100% see why this was coop’s fav song. Honestly think it’s one of her best and meaningful songs

[efatarannum]

Literal goosebumps. The lyrics "cause I don't wanna live without you"💔 ness we're always here for you. Coop, our angel boy will always be remembered. RIP.

[tenzin]

Nessa all songs are bomb, there’s not a single song of her that doesn’t fail to touch our hearts 🥰 her lyric are real deep and tough . This song really is beautiful as it is cooper fav and yours too . We love u

[melanielaisla]

This song will forever have a special meaning and place in everyone’s heart. Coop touched the world and thank you for sharing this song with us. He will never be forgotten and will live throughout all his loved ones🤍 I pray for healing for you all. We love you.

[lanafan]

I don’t know what hurts me more: the topic this song’s about or the fact that there’s still people in this world that don’t appreciate Nessa’s talent 💔💔💔
Also I’m devastated that she released this song before what happened to Coop, she’s such a strong woman. All my support angel, u deserve the world 🫶🏽

[sailormoongypsy]

This song has taken on a whole other meaning. Although maybe this was its true meaning all along.. rip Coop 🕊👼🏼

[polilios]

Nessa is a wonderful person who has gone through a lot of things in his life and struggles with it, while simultaneously releasing songs, nessa you are wonderful!!!

[tmoney]

nessa’s music is soooo beautiful her voice her vibe when it all comes together it’s just a masterpiece🥹

[valentynediax]

I love this song sm. What makes this so so different and special is that everyone has their own person that they dedicate this song to. Whether it’s a mom, dad, brother, sister, boyfriend, girlfriend, a friend, or maybe even a best friend. This song is unique in its own way and it truly deserves every ounce of fame it gets. Nessa is a brilliant artist and I know she has a bright future.

[kathryndleon]

This song makes me cry so bad it reminds me of my old friend that moved, and she was the best, but I really miss her, and this song makes me think of my old pets that died in the past, but I hope everyone gets this message and i hope everybody has a blessed day.

[lils]
