The First Time Lyrics

We met at a rave, feeling that bass shake

Dance floor connection, hearts about to break

Chilled every day, sippin' on that drink

Lost in your eyes, couldn't even think

My ex and I, love was just a game

But with you, everything wasn't the same

Fell in love for the first time ever

Left my past behind, knew this was forever

Moved into your parents' place, felt like home

Around the dinner table, we'd never feel alone

They made me realize what a family was

Unconditional love, just because

We started out strong

And that lasted for a while

Our friends told us don't

But we did it anyway

We made the right choice

Didn't matter what they say

I was broke and needed cash

So I decided to be real

And I remember what you said

"You always wanted to date a drug dealer"

That fucked me up more than you think

Started the path that led to my downfall

Motivated by one remark

I really took it way too far

Things were good on the outside

Nobody could see

That I was lying and dying internally

I never cheated or did you dirty like that

But the lies and the drugs were just as bad

I couldn't find a way out until we

Broke up the first time

I cleaned my act up and got

My life back in line

Then we got back together,

The new version of us

It was going great, we had built a new trust

Soon to turn into something grave

When you travelled round the world chasing after the rave

I got a call from all your friends

With you on your trip overseas

They said you grinded on guys at the clubs,

Were acting strange and they had enough

I chose to leave it in their hands

No insecurities on my end

Then the calls kept flooding in

And I heard how you sounded to them

Your birthday was coming up

So your girl helped me buy you flowers

I expected some joy, maybe even a thanks

But in return I got a shock

When you ended our romance

I got the closure through our friends

They told me what had happened

There's no resentment here

I just want you to be happy

We have both moved on in life

No regrets about our years together

I just want you to know

That for all the highs and lows

You made me better
