(Verse 1)
I remember St. Paul’s church lights,
You were singing, I was trying not to fall too deep…
But my heart was already yours,
Long before we ever sat down just to speak.
You left for Juba, but girl, you stayed with me,
Every melody you sang was my heartbeat on repeat.
I should’ve held on, I should’ve waited,
Now I’m standing here with all these tears I created.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know I made choices I can’t rewind,
But you’re the rhythm running wild in my mind…
(Chorus)
Penny, don’t give up on me,
You're still the first love I ever knew truly.
I married wrong but my soul belongs
To the girl who made a choir song feel like home.
My heart’s bleeding, can’t you see?
Every breath, every beat is calling your name softly…
Penny, don’t give up on me.
Girl, you’re still my first love… my only.
(Verse 2)
Wish I told you everything back then,
All the dreams, all the moments we missed as friends.
But fear held my tongue, life pulled me away,
And I let something so real slip through my hands that day.
Now I’m broken in the middle of this storm,
Trying to fix a heart that never felt this torn.
I know you’re hurting, I know you’re tired,
But losing you again feels like my soul’s on fire.
(Pre-Chorus)
If love is forgiveness, then hear my plea,
You’re the only one who ever saw the real me…
(Chorus)
Penny, don’t give up on me,
You're still the first love I ever knew truly.
I married wrong but my soul belongs
To the girl who made a choir song feel like home.
My heart’s bleeding, can’t you see?
Every breath, every beat is calling your name softly…
Penny, don’t give up on me.
Girl, you’re still my first love… my only.
(Rap Verse)
Yeah…
I ain’t perfect, but I swear my love was never fake,
I just got lost in a moment that became my biggest mistake.
You were the song in my spirit, the peace in my chest,
But I chose the wrong path, now I’m living with the rest.
Tried to move on, but your shadow never left my side,
Every dream, every prayer, girl, you’re still my guide.
If pain is the price for the truth I owe,
Then let me bleed every tear just to let you know—
I’d walk through fire, rewrite every choice,
Just to hear forgiveness coming from your voice.
And even if the world says “let her go,”
My heart ain’t listening… it still beats Penny, tho’.
(Bridge)
I’m not asking for miracles,
Just one more chance to make it right…
Let me hold what I lost,
Let me fight for us tonight.
If love means waiting, girl I’ll wait,
If love means healing, I’ll bend ’til I break…
’Cause life without you feels like a song
That never learned how to play.
(Final Chorus)
Penny, don’t give up on me,
You’re the first love, the deep love, the home in my heartbeat.
I messed up, but I’m standing strong,
Hoping your heart still remembers our song.
My world’s empty without your melody…
Penny, please don’t give up on me.
You’re still my first love…
My only.
