She was light skin short smart and petite
Stole my heart when she smile and gin
Like Joey from across the creek
Undress myself and let her take a peek
At a young 16 u was all that I knew
I respect your decision But never thought it leaves me
Inconsolable for so long Dwelling on letters and photos
Conversation on the phone and walking you home
Gone, but I still had hope Soak myself in sad song
With a scar will I’m sick don’t bother me
I don’t wanna do shit I’m upset you help me
build a wall Gave definition to my existence
Ladies hate the fact that when they get close I get cold and distance
Look away I don’t want you to see me shed a tear
I don’t want you the monster you help create
Think twice before I give my heart away
Cause I the first cuts the deepest
Chorus:
You was my first love my first lesson my first lost
I take it and swallow my pride I guess its time to move on
You was my first love my first lesson my first lost
I take it and swallow my pride I guess its time to give up
A yo my heart couldn’t paint the perfect picture
My thoughts and fear couldn’t compromise
To find the perfect word to say to you
Now look at you,
I could only watch you from a distance
To reminisce when I sit back and see your picture
So many years went by and so you grew estrange
And parted ways time change and so does people too
I’ll be lying if I was to say that I never missed you
When I lay my head and sleep and dream
I could still see your face and your smile is haunting me
Flash back when I used to sit in back of you in class
And roll my fingers through your hair
You’re my every reason to keep my sentimental feeling in check
Less intense take back the parent disapproval excuse
But thanks for the lesson music is reflection of self
Think of me when you listen
Chorus: repeats
Was it really timing or just pride?
that kept you from speaking your mind
I can sense you’re holding back thoughts and thing
You wanna say like the way you hold back your tear
But I be a friend and listen
I be your shoulder to cry on when your prom king is missing
I stand by you and smile for picture at a graduation
I watch your dad give you away at your wedding
Our sentiment was a mutual
And here’s your decision its good riddance
good bye to romance and learn how to let go
it cut like a knife and time does heal the pain
but one look at you its sharp enough to reopen these scars
the day becomes so long that alcohol can cleanse or wash
away the memories as the day spring and the summer fall or winter
the thoughts of first love would still linger
Chorus: repeats
