Sable Sky - First Love Lyrics

We were just kids in a chemistry class,
I saw you smile, and time couldn't pass,
You were everything I never knew I needed,
A dream too perfect, so easy to believe in.
Late night texts turned into long days,
Talking 'bout the future, and planning our ways.
Every moment with you felt like a second,
I was lost in your world, and I never questioned.
Pre-Chorus:
But life has a way of pulling the strings,
Love doesn't always end with wedding rings.
I thought we'd last, like a scene from a dream,
But things aren't always what they seem.

You were the girl I'd built my life around,
But somehow the silence got too loud.
You drifted away, and I tried to hold on,
Now I'm left here wondering what went wrong.
I lived for you, I died for you,
But the love we had, it slipped right through.
Almost forever, but now we're apart,
You'll always have that piece of my heart.

I gave you a diamond for Christmas that year,
I thought it would shine, and we'd have no fear.
But your world wasn't mine, and time wasn't kind,
Now all I have is the ghost of your smile in my mind.
We never kissed, but love was there,
More than words, more than anyone could compare.
I thought time would heal, but it only repeats,
Every glance at you pulls me off my feet.

But life has a way of tearing us down,
And love isn't always enough to stick around.
I thought we had it, I thought we'd be,
But love isn't always guaranteed.

You were the girl I'd built my life around,
But somehow the silence got too loud.
You drifted away, and I tried to hold on,
Now I'm left here wondering what went wrong.
I lived for you, I died for you,
But the love we had, it slipped right through.
Almost forever, but now we're apart,
You'll always have that piece of my heart.

I see you sometimes, and it all floods back,
The pain, the hope, the love we lacked.
I tried to move on, but no one compares,
They're not you, they're just shadows of what we shared.

You were the girl I'd built my life around,
But somehow the silence got too loud.
You drifted away, and I tried to hold on,
Now I'm left here wondering what went wrong.
I lived for you, I died for you,
But the love we had, it slipped right through.
Almost forever, but now we're apart,
You'll always have that piece of my heart.

Almost forever, but not quite,
I'll keep your memory in the quiet of the night
