I Heard It First

I Heard It First lyrics

Verse 1

I read it twice
then I read it clean
You said "you good?"
That means "you know what I mean"

I clocked the shift
way before the text
Same little smile
with the math underneath

I show up neat
like I meant to win
You bring a pose
I bring the whole room in

Pre-Chorus

Mm, keep that costume on
I see the seams
You call it friendly
I call it dreams

Chorus

Choir at the listening
I came dressed for the room
Choir at the listening
You can keep that fake applause
Choir at the listening
I know what the hush means
Choir at the listening
Baby, I heard it first

Verse 2

You do that thing
where you love in parts
Big on the comments
small on the heart

I don't need extras
I don't need a crown
I just need truth
when the lights go down

I got good taste
and a sharper read
If the vibe goes cold
I don't feed it meat

You rehearse your shine
I let mine live
Funny how quiet
can be the gift

Pre-Chorus

Mm, keep that costume on
I see the seams
You call it friendly
I call it dreams

Chorus

Choir at the listening
I came dressed for the room
Choir at the listening
You can keep that fake applause
Choir at the listening
I know what the hush means
Choir at the listening
Baby, I heard it first

Bridge

I don't chase a seat
I bring my own
I don't beg for love
I know my tone

If the table turns
I don't move scared
I already knew
who was really there

Choir at the listening
I came dressed for the room
Choir at the listening
You can keep that fake applause
Choir at the listening
I know what the hush means
Choir at the listening
Baby, I heard it first

Outro

Mm-hm
I heard it first
Choir at the listening
