The Letters I Burned

First time

It happened for the first time

underneath the starry sky

I lost my sight

or was it just the loss of the light

 

did you know that

my heart is breaking

no music playing

trying to figure this out

 

Darling did you know

that you were the only one

that could ever make

my heart beat so

 

You knew when I lied

you knew when I cried

you knew what it was about

but you never said the words

 

and it happened for the first time

I felt my heart stop beating

And I felt myself needing

somebody like you to hold me tight

somebody like you to keep me upright

 

Yeah, it happened for the first time

I finally, felt like I could fly

It wasn't a loss of light,

darling it was your face,

blocking out the moon

telling me to run away

 

and it happened for the first time

I felt myself agreeing

to run away

to sneak away

to let myself take

a chance on someone

 

Yeah, it happened for the first time

I took a chance and I actually

 

got it right...
