I know my love could be hurting you
I know I gotta, gotta get you off my mind
But I just can't live without you anymore
I just want you back again

Since the day we chose to be apart
I know we both found somebody else
Still I dream of you, wanting you back into my life
I know I have a place to call my home
I know I have somebody to call my own
It's gotta be wrong to be lovin' you
I have to let you go

No, we can never be
Never be friends again
I know we can never go back to being in love again
But I still think of you
And you're always gonna be the one
So let me just call you my first love

Still I think about the good times that we had
And I just reminisce, reading through the letters you gave me
And every little thing that you were dreaming of
It keeps on tearing up my heart

And I know I really broke your heart
So I thought I should just leave you alone
I used to think that it's gotta be a righteous thing to do

But tell me what's the use of being right
When I can't even hold you in my arms
When I can't tell you how much I love and how I want you back

I think I have figured it out
The true meaning of love
Even though I had to go through the pain of losing you
You'll never come back to me
But you're always gonna be the one
So you will always be in my heart

Someday, the time will tell
Why you had to go
Why I have to keep on living
Without you
But I'm wondering
If I can fall in love
Just once again with somebody else

No, we can never be
Never be friends again
I know we can never go back to being in love again
But I still think of you
And you're always gonna be the one
So let me just call you my first love
Let me just call you my first love
Let me just call you my first love
