Nothing Hurts Like Love For The First Time

(album: Ever Blossom - 2021)

No one gets it right on their first try
Nothing feels like love for the first time
I never saw it coming, I was too blind
But nothing hurts like love for the first time
We're better together, I was better off never
Expert optimistic pretender
We'll make it through if we keep writing letters
Your heart moved on, now they're return to sender

Thought I'd let you know
That everything went cold
The day you chose to let me go
Thought I'd let you know
Through everything we've been through
I feel you still and I always will

A sight of smell can take me right back there
Like cheap perfume left in an elevator
Ups and downs, I was down, down, down
Lower levels make the most beautiful sounds

Thought I'd let you know
That everything went cold
The day you chose to let me go
Thought I'd let you know
Though everything we've been through
I feel you still and I always will

Nevermind the distance, we were distant
And long before we split we were drifting
I cut my hair short like you always asked for
I hope the fade hurts me less and you more

No one gets it right on the first try
Nothing hurts like love for the first time
