First Love

chorus:
i saw her just the other day
thoughts come flooding back to me
we used to know each other oh so well
but after all these years i fear she’s forgotten me

i remember everything, but i don’t think that you do
what does this say about me, what does it say about you
i know i loved you, i know that this much is true, how could i tell if you loved me
when you saw me you pretended i wasn’t there

she walked in while i was on stage, i’m sure she didn’t know that i’d be there
she was struttin’ her stuff with her new man, they just grab their drinks and left
spent a lot of time together, when we were young, she was my best girl
she was my first love

maybe someday she’ll hear me on the radio, my voice would bring back memories
maybe she’d be in the car with her boyfriend, she’d never tell him we used to date
you said you didn’t want to end up only sending Christmas cards, but this in not our fate
every Christmas, I’m still checkin’ for that card

you said you just wanted your freedom, by freedom you meant other boys
i said fine it’s not like i could stop you, you’ve always been an independent girl
but i said maybe sometimes you could still call me, just to see if i’m okay
after all these years, i’m still waitin’ for that call
