My First Love

Drunk and lonely, sitting by the phone
No one to call, no one to hold
Should I write a letter?
Maybe take that chance
Last one I wrote to you, tore it up so fast

You were my first love, the one that's gonna last
A million miles later, a ghost from the past
You were my true love, the one thats 'posed to last
A million miles later, still stranded in the past

I can grow a garden, eighteen miles high
Give you all the roses so you could watch them die
I could buy a diamond, brighter than the sky
Put it on your fingers, and you could wave goodbye

You were my first love, the one that's gonna last
A million miles later, I'm ghost from the past
You were my true love, the one thats 'posed to last
A million miles later, still stranded in the past

You can curse the darkness, blow out the light
I can build an alter, like candles in the night
You can give me poison, like Romeo and Juliet
I can be a good man, but someday I'll forget

You were my first love, the one that's gonna last
A million miles later, ghost from the past
You were my true love, the one thats 'posed to last
A million miles later, still stranded in the past

You were my first love, the one that's gonna last
A million miles later, I'm ghost from the past
You were my true love, the one thats 'posed to last
A million miles later, still stranded in the past
