First Love, Lost and Lingering

Morning breaks, I’m alone again

Every sunrise reminds me of when

We used to shine, so free and bright

Now I’m just drowning in the night

I woke up with her shadow on my mind

Lost in the echoes of the love I left behind

Her face haunts every lonely street

Won't accept this heart's defeat

What could I do, I threw it all away

Chased shadows, made her walk away

Now her smile's just a ghost in my mind

Can't escape the love I left behind

First love, I threw you aside

Now I’m lonely, crying inside

She’s married now, living her dream

While I’m lost in what might have been

First love, forever etched in my soul

A story of a broken whole

I still see her face, silent and true

First love, I lost you

In my truck, I drive through the night

Thinking of our faded light

Should’ve fought, should’ve tried

Now I’m just the one who’s denied

First love, I threw you aside

Now I’m lonely, crying inside

She’s married now, living her dream

While I’m lost in what might have been

First love, forever etched in my soul

A story of a broken whole

I still see her face, silent and true

First love, I lost you

Morning comes, I face the ache

Memories I can’t unmake

First love, I threw you aside

Forever in my heart, I hide
