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


...But do you remember how sad you looked?
Did you 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 you made all our graves' beds?

...I couldn't perceive,
Why you spoke so softly to me,
You didn't threaten me with "beware"
You were just too full of despair...
To...even care...
So you stood there,
Listening to my commentary
While I was wailing like a Banshee for you to believe
That humans don't deserve to die,
You 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 mais than scarce
But then you 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 you remember it?
How you whispered it?
How you stayed true to it?
How you so well emphasized it?

You glanced at me for a second, no mais 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 you 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!

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

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

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

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

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

She may have let you stay at her place when you were hurt,
But I was first
She may have promised you her worth,
But you 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 you helped find Cream
Even while it didn't benefit you or 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."
