My First Love

Momma always told me to look after  my heart
And I tried, oh Lord I tried
You and all your dazzling ways, and those pretty eyes
And your pride, oh your pride

For years, I had wondered how this would feel
To fly on a wingless reverie
But I fell, God help me, I fell
Looks like your dazzling ways got the best of me

And no one can do the things you do
There’s no one as crazy as you
No one who knew me quite so well
With power to put me through this hell
With power to make me feel alive
And then just leave me to survive
You were a gift, and a curse from above
My first love

How can this pain in my chest feel so real
It’s like it’s pressing down on me
I know the heart’s a metaphor, but this is what I feel
You must have taken my heart from me 

And no one can do the things you do
There’s no one as crazy as you
No one who knew me quite so well
With power to put me through this hell
With power to make me feel alive
And then just leave me to survive
You were a gift, and a curse from above
My first love

One day I’ll find the strength in mind
To stand and love again
One day you’ll be just a memory to me
Oh, but until then…

And no one can do the things you do
There’s no one as crazy as you
No one who knew me quite so well
With power to put me through this hell
With power to make me feel alive
And then just leave me to survive
You were a gift, and a curse from above

And no one can do the things you do
There’s no one as crazy as you
No one who knew me quite so well
With power to put me through this hell
With power to make me feel alive
And then just leave me to survive
You were a gift, and a curse from above
My first love
