First Love Never Lasts

(album: Songbird - 2020)

Yeah I got a new boy who looks like you
Dark brown hair with a cool tattoo
He's got green eyes that fade to blue
I tell him that I love him but I know it ain't true

You got a new girl who looks like me
Nothing in her head but she's so damn pretty
With the brown eyes she looks at you
You tell her that you love her but I know it ain't true

Why do we act like this works?
Are we just making it worse?

I wanted to be your first and last
But baby that first love never lasts
Are we so wrapped up in the memory?
Are we both okay? We pretend to be
It was only perfect in the past
Cuz a first love never lasts, no
No, a first love never lasts

Got me in bed with a stranger
With somebody who looks like you
Shouldn't have fell for the danger
But he feels like déjà vu

Why do we act like this works?
Are we just making it worse?

I wanted to be your first and last
But baby that first love never lasts
Are we so wrapped up in the memory?
Are we both okay? We pretend to be
It was only perfect in the past
Cuz a first love never lasts, no
No, a first love never lasts
