Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We were kids in Sunday shoes

Kissing by the river bend

You said

"This is it for me"

I believed every word you meant

[Verse 2]

Suitcase by the screen door light

Dust still dancing where you turned

You took the map

I kept the town

Now my board porch coffee burns

[Chorus]

You left but I stayed

You ran while I prayed

For that first love to circle back home someday

My heart never strayed

Still parked in your shade

You left

You left

But I stayed

[Verse 3]

Picture fading on my wall

Your name carved in the old oak rail

I trace the letters

Bite my tongue

Taste that promise gone so pale

[Bridge]

How can the same two hands

Hold a halo

Hold a blade? (oh)

You blessed me with my first sweet touch

Then broke me with the mess you made

[Chorus]

You left but I stayed

You ran while I prayed

For that first love to circle back home someday

My heart never strayed

Still parked in your shade

You left

You left

But I stayed

[Outro]

[Hummed vocal over soft guitar]

Hmm-mm

First love

First ache

Hmm-mm

This old heart won’t break

You left

You left

But I stayed
