歌詞

You walked in laughing

Cherry on your lip

I spilled my coffee

Tried to play it slick

You stole my table

Said “we’ll share this seat”

You stole my future

Right from under me

’Cause the first cut hurts deepest when you say goodbye

And the quiet house echoes every why

Every picture on the fridge is a little white lie

Yeah

The first cut hurts deepest

And it never runs dry

We planned a garden in the tiny yard

You named the roses after movie stars

You said

“Forever

” like a simple word

Now “forever” is the worst I’ve ever heard

Still my hands reach out in the empty night

Like your shadow might slip back inside

All your sweaters breathing on the back of my chair

Every time I think I’m healing

I just find you there

Your key still waits in the silver tray

Your mail keeps coming like you only strayed

Our friends keep asking if we’re doing fine

I fake a smile

Say you’re still mine

I tell them we just needed a little space

But the truth keeps burning in the strangest place

In the spoon you left

In the soap in your hair

Every corner of this life

Says you’re everywhere

I drive past diners we could never afford

The ring still rattles in the dashboard drawer

I almost call you when the thunder starts

But the dial tone only answers my heart

Now love tastes bitter on my morning tongue

Like a half-played song that’s left unsung

I was ready for a lifetime

You were ready to run

Guess the first cut hurts deepest

When it’s the only one

If you ever turn around

Find this door still open

Light in the hallway

Every promise unbroken

I’ll be here holding what we couldn’t keep

Loving you in memories

Cutting me in my sleep
