Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So little to say, but so much time
Despite my empty mouth, the words are in my mind
Please wear the face, the one where you smile
Because it'll lighten up my heart
When I start to cry
[Verse 2]
Forgive me, first love, but I'm tired
I need to get away to feel again
Try to understand why
[Verse 3]
Don't get so close to change my mind
Please wipe that look out of your eyes
It's bribing me to doubt myself
Simply it's time
[Verse 4]
This love has dried up and stayed behind
And if I stay, I'll be a lie
Then choke on words I'd always hide
[Verse 5]
Excuse me, first love, but we're through
I need to taste a kiss from someone new
Forgive me, first love, but I'm too tired
I'm bored, to say the least, and I
I lack desire
[Verse 6]
Forgive me, first love
Forgive me, first love
Forgive me, first love
Forgive me, first love
Forgive me
Forgive me, first love
Forgive me, first love
