My First Love (Lyrics)

Note: I wrote this song earlier this year to the tune of 'Sway' by Bic Runga. I really love that song and I just wanted to create a version I could relate to at the time.

You are the reason I'm alive
You taught me what was right from wrong,
You showed me just how to be strong
But I
Hurt you deep inside
A thousand tears can't make it right
Neither can a thousand sorry's

I let you down, I twisted all you thought you knew

But one thing I know,
I know I love you so
I can't think why I lied to you
I know I had no reason
And it just grows
I completely lost control
How can I make it up to you?
Will you ever realise that

I can't let you go
I've changed myself just to be with you

(Chorus)
My First Love
I know I did you wrong
Please forgive me
My first love
We're together so long
I'm so sorry

And then in school,
I feel like such a fool
I know that you know that I lied
There's no way to disguise and so
I just cry
Can't hide the hurt inside
I know that this is all my fault
I know you deserve better

And I
hate that I lied
'Cuz all it did was hurt you

(Chorus)

What can I do for you?
To show that now I'm true?

I hate that I lied,
Cuz all it did was hurt you
And I can't sleep at night
Now that you and I are through

(Chorus X3)

What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
To show that now I'm true?
