For the First Time

You could never love me

I'm afraid that maybe I've been doing this for too long

I'm afraid that maybe I should quit and get a real job

I'm afraid that I'm one step away from being the punchline

Maybe I should learn to read the signs

I'm running out of time

I'm running out of time

I'm running out of

The things I know

Live and let go

I brought her home for the first time

You've heard the news

I cut you loose

I filled your shoes for the first time

Every day I'm looking for another way to tell you

I'm ok but I wonder how you are and what you've been through

And all the ways I just wanted to say that we weren't a waste of time

I know because you're always on my mind

(Always on my mind)

The things I know

Live and let go

I brought her home for the first time

You've heard the news

I cut you loose

I filled your shoes for the first time

(Hey, hey

Hey, hey)

Sell our story to the new friends that you found

Tell them all about the ways I let you down

But if you need someone you know I'll be around

I only hope that you still like my sound

Hey, hey

The things I know

Live and let go

I brought her home for the first time

You've heard the news

I cut you loose, yeah yeah

I filled your shoes for the first time

The things I know

Live and let go

I brought her home for the first time

(Hey, hey)
