THE FIRST AND LAST TIME

First time I did it, hugging you didn't mean a thing

First time I felt it, your lips didn't mean a thing

First time I held it, your hands didn't mean a thing

First time I touched it, your face didn't mean a thing

First time I heard them, your words didn't mean a thing

But as the days passed on

I knew it was true all along

That there was really something there

That I wasn't going nowhere

So why didn't you see it

Why couldn't you see my love was true

Why did you think it wouldn't work

Why didn't you think I loved you

Second time around is just as good as the first

As long as there's something other than hurt

As long as we tried once, we could always try again

As long as we give it a little work

But you didn't feel the same

You thought it was too late

You thought there was too much to risk

That there was already too much hate

So you gave it up

So you broke my heart

Maybe it was my fault

For not starting at the start

If we ever do it again

I promise it'll be from the beginning to end

First time we try it again

The start will be as good as the end

Last time I did it, hugging you made me cry

Last time I felt it, your lips were so dry

Last time I held it, your hands weren't mine

Last time I touched it, your face was so fine

Last time I heard them, your words made me die
