This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
First I was love, then I came to be
I had a heart inside of me
And though my heart was working I found
Still there was something it had not found
So I went away hoping to see
Maybe I'd find what's missing in me
Knowing so well but not knowing why
If I didn't find this something I'd die
And then I came to where I had been
I knew the first was still not the end
What I had left was not what I found
Because there was you, because there I found
First I was love, then I came to be
I had a heart inside of me
And though me heart is still part of me
You gave my heart its reason to be
I had a heart inside of me
And though my heart was working I found
Still there was something it had not found
So I went away hoping to see
Maybe I'd find what's missing in me
Knowing so well but not knowing why
If I didn't find this something I'd die
And then I came to where I had been
I knew the first was still not the end
What I had left was not what I found
Because there was you, because there I found
First I was love, then I came to be
I had a heart inside of me
And though me heart is still part of me
You gave my heart its reason to be

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
