No one gets it right on their first try Nothing feels like love for the first time I never saw it coming, I was too blind But nothing hurts like love for the first time We're better together, I was better off never Expert optimistic pretender We'll make it through if we keep writing letters Your heart moved on, now they're return to sender Thought I'd let you know That everything went cold The day you chose to let me go Thought I'd let you know Through everything we've been through I feel you still and I always will A sight of smell can take me right back there Like cheap perfume left in an elevator Ups and downs, I was down, down, down Lower levels make the most beautiful sounds Thought I'd let you know That everything went cold The day you chose to let me go Thought I'd let you know Though everything we've been through I feel you still and I always will Nevermind the distance, we were distant And long before we split we were drifting I cut my hair short like you always asked for I hope the fade hurts me less and you more No one gets it right on the first try Nothing hurts like love for the first time
