[Verse 1] New dress on me, standing by the mirror Practice up a smile, but it still feels different Opened up a box of old, forgotten pictures Something in my chest starts quietly stirring [Pre-Chorus] Hey, why am I now Trying to measure everything Even though I have someone I treasure Breathing out, one sigh Hey, if I could cry Open like that girl I used to be Would I still be there beside you In that place that should be mine [Chorus] I keep comparing you to my first love All of your laughing lines, I trace them over his Deeper that I fall, the more I feel That gentle spring keeps getting in the way I am sorry, somehow, my first love still Lingers like a shadow in my steps [Verse 2] Side by side we stand, waiting at the platform Talking about nothing, silly little stories Suddenly it stops, silence in between us Old forgotten promises tighten up my heart [Pre-Chorus] Hey, why do memories Always turn out beautiful Editing the truth to fit the ending It is so unfair, you know Hey, if I could just Hold you like that day again Saying "always, you and me" I wish that I could let it out [Chorus] I keep comparing you to my first love Always chasing after colors in your voice Deeper that I fall, the more I see That burning summer stays burned into my mind I am sorry, somehow, my first love still Will not let go, I lose my way [Bridge] If I had stayed with you and never left How many quiet what if scenes would play again Want to let it fade, yet I hold it tighter Perfect in the frame where time can never reach But the hand that now is holding on to mine Is the one that feels the warmest [Chorus] I keep comparing you to my first love But in the end my heart still circles back to here I want to face this feeling honestly Want to guard the love I live in now So goodbye to my very first someone Not a rule to judge by, just a precious jewel I keep comparing you to my first love But the words I hear are somehow changing now "I love you" in your quiet, simple voice Softly makes that distant silhouette grow faint Thank you now, at last my first love feels Like something I can walk beyond Thank you, goodbye
