The Ones that Talk About Heartbreak and Love

The First Time

The first time I ever saw your face

I felt like I was floating

And, the earth seemed to stand still

And you made me feel like I was floating

The first time I ever saw your face

I had had a little bit to drink, I'll admit

But I saw your eyes, and the way they hypnotize

And I sobered up quick

The first time I ever saw your face

I could hear my heartbeat. beat. beat

And I didn't know that could happen

That that feeling was real

The first time I ever saw your face

I tried to play it cool

That I could just be your friend

A girl that you could call a sister

But I didn't think

The first time I ever saw your face

I was shocked you wanted to kiss me

The idea of you, the way you look like you

I would never have thought, you'd want to kiss me

The first time I ever saw your face

I was dumbfounded, couldn't stop staring

Your eyes looked like you had seen pain

Like you'd let yourself be broken

But I was broken too

The first time I ever saw your face

I was scared at the idea

Of having your babies, of falling in love

Finally. And finding peace

You scared me. The way you made me feel

Scared me.

The first time I ever saw your face

I hoped you'd be a good guy

That you wouldn't make me cry

And you would make me happy

I was wrong.

The first time I ever saw your face

I wish it was the last time

I wish I didn't pester you

I wish I kept you special

A fond memory that would have never caused me pain

Because if I saw your face now?

I'd wish I never met you.
