Verse 1]
We were sittin’ on the bleachers, hearts full of fire
You were wearin’ my hoodie, I was playin’ with the wire
Of that mixtape CD you burned for me
Said, “forever” in sharpie on the back seat
Snuck out past curfew just to kiss in the rain
Told your dad I was trouble, but you loved me anyway
We were young, wild, thought we knew it all
’Til that goodbye came in a late-night call
⸻
[Chorus]
Ain’t no pain like the first time hurt
Like watchin’ your whole damn world reverse
From “I love you” to “we’re not the same”
From forever to just a name
It ain’t deep till it’s your first scar
Carved in the back of a small-town heart
Now I drive by your street, still feel the burn
Ain’t no pain like the first time hurt
⸻
[Verse 2]
You left town for college, I stayed back home
You traded tailgate nights for the unknown
And I still hear your voice in that Taylor song
Singin’ every word like you ain’t gone
⸻
[Chorus]
Ain’t no pain like the first time hurt
Like watchin’ your whole damn world reverse
From “I love you” to “we’re not the same”
From forever to just a name
It ain’t deep till it’s your first scar
Carved in the back of a small-town heart
Now I drive by your street, still feel the burn
Ain’t no pain like the first time hurt
⸻
[Bridge]
I’ve loved since then, but it ain’t the same
‘Cause nothin’ cuts like your first heart break
We were just kids, but it sure felt real
Some wounds time don’t ever heal
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Ain’t no pain like the first time hurt
Like dancin’ in fire, thinkin’ you won’t get burned
From prom night dreams to a silent phone
From holdin’ hands to sleepin’ alone
It ain’t deep till it’s your first scar
Carved in the back of a small-town heart
Still hear your laugh when I make that turn
Ain’t no pain like the first time hurt
