First Love

Time to set this straight now
Before the memory fades out
I promised you a song one day
I hope the debt's now paid
All the words I have collected
They might not be what you expected
I suggest you take a seat right now
And try to hear me out

I had so long
To sit alone
And ponder the reasons why
My heart was torn
I felt every thorn
The roses smelled only of dye

You were my first love
My shooting star above
I fell for every part of us
But a painful thought
Was all we had become

Back up to the days
Us fools in the hallways
Star crossed lovers
In a High School bubble
You're the boy of my dreams
Graduating next spring
I'm the new kid on the scene
You're little perfect fresh meat
Two boys in their teens
Four seats in between
No fear to believe
Love bursting at our seams
Bus stop after school
Make out screw the rules
Sneak off in the nude
Pass out in your bedroom

You had so long
To sit alone
And ponder the reasons why
Your heart was torn
You felt every thorn
The roses smelled only of dye

You were my first love
My shooting star above
You fell for every part of us
But a painful thought
Was all we had become

Fast forward to me now
Too afraid to settle down
Every time I think about
If we could have worked it out
All the happiness we found
I juts wanna tell you now
You can find it once again
You don't have to count it out

You were my first love
My shooting star above
We fell for every part of us
And a painful thought is
What we would become
But I know what it was
All those roses weren't ours to pluck
I know you've been through hell and had it rough
But don't you ever think you aren't enough
For somebody else I know you are enough

Yes you were my first heartbreak
But don't we know it was one damn good mistake
