[Pre-Chorus]
I'll come clean, it's not me
We're not where we used to be and that's alright
Love drives by, comes too quick, and then it dies

[Chorus]
It's always better the first time
Better the first time
It's always better the first time
Better the first, better the first

[Verse 1]
This shit was better in the start, now I'm always on the move
Hate to leave you in the dark, whеn I'm gone, what do you do?
You got boys to play the part, I got drugs that I can use
Sеparation's been a bitch and the honeymoon is through
You don't smile for the pics, you won't let me in the door
Don't know what I'm tryna fix, think it's better to ignore, yeah
We'll drag it out 'til we're tappin' out
So tell me, what happens now? Yeah, what happens now?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll come clean, it's not me
We're not where we used to be and that's alright
Love drives by, comes too quick, and then it dies
[Chorus]
It's always better the first time
Better the first time
It's always better the first time
Better the first, better the first

[Verse 2]
Why do I get so unattached as soon as I know it's mine?
I miss scratches on my back, those acrylics on my spine
Why don't we talk about the fact that maybe we're not fine?
Maybe we're not fine, maybe we're not—
These things die fast, the moments never last
Good times we had but we'll never get 'em back
And it hurts me too but that's nothing really new
Everything I love turns to everything I lose

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll come clean, it's not me
We're not where we used to be and that's alright
Love drives by, comes too quick, and then it dies

[Chorus]
It's always better the first time
Better the first time
It's always better the first time
Better the first, better the first
[Bridge]
Where do all the good times go?
Where do all the good times go?
Where do all the good times go?
Yeah, where do all the good times go?
Where do all the good times go?
Where do all the good times go?

[Chorus]
It's always better the first time
Better the first time
It's always better the first time
Better the first, better the first
It's always better the first time
Better the first time
It's always better the first time
Better the first, better the first
