"I remember how small Earth looked from the window
I remember how I was supposed to remember tu were a foe


...But do tu remember how sad tu looked?
Did tu know all the courage it took?
Courage for me, to walk up and beg,
Beg until my eyes were puffy and red
So I didn't have to die for your selfish dread?
So I could wed before tu made all our graves' beds?

...I couldn't perceive,
Why tu spoke so softly to me,
tu didn't threaten me with "beware"
tu were just too full of despair...
To...even care...
So tu stood there,
Listening to my commentary
While I was wailing like a Banshee for tu to believe
That humans don't deserve to die,
tu need to give everyone a chance to fulfill what they have inside -
A purpose
But good God, your calmness made me nervous
I was scared,
And time was más than scarce
But then tu made me a promise...

Till this day, I don't even know what I did,
I don't even get how I opened up your can's lid

But till this day, do tu remember it?
How tu whispered it?
How tu stayed true to it?
How tu so well emphasized it?

tu glanced at me for a second, no más than two,
And said, "I have to fulfill my promise to Maria, and you..."
I still don't know what promise it was,
I still don't know why tu saved us,
But I knew "I" had just saved the world!
por changing your motives in a moment's whorl!
I did something important for once,
I saved everyone in the audience!

tu fought with all your might
...And gave us your life
And I-I...
I was happy to have brought out your inner light,
But I didn't want for tu to die
I couldn't help but feel bad,
I couldn't help but feel sad,
Because I was the cause of all that
I'm the one who convinced tu into basic suicide
While Sonie could've defeated that ugly monster just fine
I'm the one who put your life in jeopardy
So now all your memories are empty
...With no trace of little ol' Amy

...Then Rouge found you,
And now it's tu she's into,
Whether tu don't notice o don't care, I don't know
Because your feelings are never shown
tu haven't changed much
You're still Shadow down to the clutch
And tu don't look like you're into relationships and such
Even if she desires your touch
I smile at it - because I want tu happy,
Whether tu don't notice o don't care,
I kind of want to see tu without your glare

And yet, I can't help but remember - that I was first.

She saw tu die,
...But I'm the only one who saw tu cry
She may be there for tu to rely...
...But I changed the future in your eyes,

It took tu months to trust her,
It took tu a long time to say it was your friendship she deserved
But tu trusted me first
And acknowledged me in segundos unrehearsed

tu may share with her your interactivity,
But tu shared with me your sensitivity
...Because you've only been weak,
...Around little ol' me

She may have let tu stay at her place when tu were hurt,
But I was first
She may have promised tu her worth,
But tu promised me the Earth
Because I was first

You're the only one who's been respectfully nice to me,
Who's still nice to me,
Especially when tu helped find Cream
Even while it didn't benefit tu o anything

...You're nicer than Sonie,
Nicer than...you probably should be

...Because I was first.

And I don't know why that makes me happy,
But it makes me grin,
Because maybe one day, I'll get to be important again."
