::CHORUS::
You loved me at my worst
That’s why you’ll always be my first, always be my first
You loved me when it hurt,
That’s why I’ll always be your first, always be your first
::VERSE::
You walked away, I carried on
I checked in, just a laptop bag and carry on
A playlist full of sadder songs
Been thinking about you lately
Though the memories are hazy
These late nights and these early flights
Started getting crazy
Got some texts and voice mails
I haven’t checked them lately
Just my twitter here and there
And your facebook status update
Wanna know how you are
Even though I try to hide it
Wanna know what’s on your mind
Even though you’re set to private
I’ve been telling people that I’m fine
I’ve moved on, I’ve dead the past
When i wake up, only thing on my mind
Is you, it’s sad
Love is war, we’re just a pair of casualties
Ill fated, stars unaligned, just a tragedy
Honeymoon phase, you had your hand in mine
Now the honeymoon’s over, you just wish i had the time
To make the change
To make the plan
Pick up the phone
And be the man
I said I’d be
And used to be
i just wished
You’d love me
Even after
You got used to me
The drama
That pursued at me
Mistakes I’ve made
That ruined me
By other women
Foolishly
I acted like a different man
Couldn’t be the bigger man
I thought i knew what love was
But love was brand new to me
And all the lessons i’ve learned, yes it grew in me
But the bridge is burned, and i won’t be there for you to see
The newer me
Better me
Someone you deserve
Sad to say regrettably
::CHORUS::
You loved me at my worst
That’s why you’ll always be my first, always be my first
You loved me when it hurt,
That’s why ill always be your first, always be your first
You’ll always be my first, love
Actress Sheetal Sheth stars in and co-produced the film “Reign”. In the movie, she plays the critical role of an Iraqi woman. Here’s more about the film:
On a deserted road in the Iraqi desert, three Marines are faced with a questionable mission that tests their service to the Marine Corps, commitment to each other and connection to humanity. Delano, Gates, and Sergeant Cooper grow restless as they hold a position above live rounds of ammunition used as bait for insurgents.
When the squad spots Iraqi travelers approaching the ammunition, a misunderstanding between the Marines and Iraqis escalates into immediate firefight leaving only a young Iraqi woman alive.
Adhering to their orders, Sergeant Cooper and Gates see no option for the woman, while Delano, torn by his conscience, faces a decision between his duty as a Marine and his empathy toward another human being.
Reign is the story of a war torn soldier’s struggle within himself to honor his duty without sacrificing his humanity.
How much of a soldier really survives?
Look for the film hitting the festival circuit soon.

Lyrics to Life Is Like A Song by Wanting
Do you know the way you walk
The way you talk
The way you say “I’d love to”
It makes me feel alive
Do you know the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I’m with you now
Life is like a…
Life is like a song
Sing along
On and on and on it lingers on
Come along
Piece together phrases in a funny way
Life is like a song
It was a rainy day
I got you on the phone
How do you do?
It’s been a while or two
A while or two
Suddenly the clouds had disappeared
Love is kind, love is blind
I don’t mind being your lover’s fool
Life is like a…
Life is like a song
Sing along
On and on and on it lingers on
Come along
Piece together phrases in a funny way Hey~
Life is like a song
Oh… Life is like a song
Life is like a song
It has its ups and downs
Life is like a song
And it carries us on, oh…
It is like a song…
On and on and on…
Life is like a song
It has its ups and downs
And it carries us on, oh…
Life is like a…
Life is like a…
Life is like a…
Life is like a…
a….song
