"Goodbye First Love (Parts I - VIII)"

lyrics

PART I

i still remember the first time that you came into my life
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)
on your bike with a cello strapped onto your back
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)
in an instant i fell in love with you and everything
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)
i can't believe you were only seventeen
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)

you curled your lips like nothing that i'd ever seen
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)
it took convincing but you finally played a song for me
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)
you smiled that smile and said that you believe in destiny
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)
you kissed my cheek and said you had to leave
(and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild)

PART II

now looking back upon our past
i can pinpoint it to exactly when i fell for you
sunny summer afternoon
riding your bike to the school
cello strapped to your back
oh how that girl disappeared
it seemed like only days had passed
flying through the years
you took me for the fool i am
i could never really understand
why you'd string someone along like that

PART III

i'd be lying if i said
that your letter didn't break my heart
though i saw it coming from the start
because you really never played that part
but after all we've been through
after all the beautiful words
the promises that i knew you couldn't keep
but i let you string be along

PART IV

and now you're gone

PART V

i let go of her like you said i should
the promises you made
that you're back home for good
oh how it stings when i read your letter again and again
i let her go on empty words like the fool that i am

PART VI

alone i walk down to the loire
your bracelet unravels in the water
as i watch it float away
should i swim after it or let it be
the decisions that i made
down to the smallest of mistakes
the role i knew you'd always play
excuses goodbyes empty promises you made
meet you in another life you say
like anything would change

PART VII

like anything would change

PART VIII

you made me this bracelet
a simple reminder of you
to wear it every day
but now it's time to let go
