Adele – First Love lyrics
So little to say
But so much time
Ddespite my empty mouth
The words are in my mind
Please wear the face
The one where you smile
Because you
Lighten up my heart
When I start to cry

Forgive me first love
But I'm tired
I need to get away
To feel again
Try to understand why
Don't get so close
To change my mind
Please wipe that look
Out of your eyes
It's bribing me
To doubt myself
Simply, it's tiring

This love has dried up
And stayed behind
And if I stay
I'll be alive
Then choke on words
I'd always hide
Excuse me first love
But we're through
I need to taste the kiss
From someone knew

Forgive me first love
But I'm too tired
I'm bored to say
The least and I
I lack desire
Forgive me first love (4x)
Forgive me
Forgive me first love (2x)

    This song always makes me cry. It makes me think of a girl who loves this guy but he tires her with drama. The relationship is very hard to keep up with. It is hard to piece back the love they have together when it is so broken. It had to end eventually. It was just a first love that would never work. So she is telling her lover it is over. She can't deal with the hardships of the relationship. She wants to move on to "taste the kiss from someone new".

    "this love has dried up and stayed behind... And if i stay ill be a lie, then chock on words i'd always hide" so. First loves are hell, were loving our deepest and dumbest. Were learning what we want and things can get bad. I was with my first love three years. S*t it took my soul a little bit. We were so used to eachother it got horrible, for him. But he didn't know what he wanted. Easily I could stick around but needed to find myself. He took so much away from me. It hurt. Something happened to me today and I'm glad I'm sitting here listening to it right now. So who knows if anyone will read this but I must this out there. So we haven't been together for a year, were from two totally diffrent worlds now. I'm a school girl and hes a "badass" we talked on facebook yesterday an we were supposed to hang out. When I got to his house a bit ago I couldn't go in, I thought to my self "how did i get here? And walk back to all the emptyness he gave me, the crummled heart i fixed my self, the pain hes given me! " I know its because I love him and I wanted to fix things but this song just helped to remind me its time to continue with my life. Or continue to let time unfold this on its own. God I'm hurting but what can I do? Chock on my words? It would have been weird anyways.
