The First Time

Have you noticed
Everyone wants exposure
They all think badly of the innocent
Maybe they should think again
Of what each first time meant

I wanted more to happen
I wanted excitement
But fate has a few tricks up her sleeve
And now I want you to know
What a messy, tangled web I weave.

The first time
My looks were returned
I simply didn't realize
How fragile I was
How I could be hurt by his lies

The first time
I trusted someone
Everything was going great
And finally she understood
Then came that nasty trickster fate

The first time
That I was kissed
I couldn't keep control
So eventually the fire
Reached down to my very soul

The first time
I denied what I felt
You decided to reply to me
So I couldn't ignore the emotion
Everyone else could clearly see

The first time
I spent a sleepless night
You were no where to be found
So I cried and sought comfort
But only succeeded in muting the sound
