[Verse 1]
No one gets it right on the first try
Nothing feels like love for the first time
I never saw it coming, I was too blind
Nothing hurts like love for the first time

[Verse 2]
We're better together, I was better off never
Expert optimistic pretender
We'll make it through if we keep writing letters
Your heart moved on now they return to sender

[Chorus]
Thought I'd let you know that everything went cold
The day you chose to let me go
Thought I'd let you know that everything we've been through
I feel you still, and I always will

[Verse 3]
A sight or smell can take me right back there
A cheap perfume left in an elevator
Ups and downs, I was down, down, down
Lower levels make the most beautiful sounds

[Chorus]
Thought I'd let you know that everything went cold
The day you chose to let me go
Thought I'd let you know that everything we've been through
I feel you still, and I always will
[Outro]
Never mind the distance, we were distant
And long before we split, we were drifting
I cut my hair short like you always asked for
I hope the fire hurts me less and you more
No one gets it right on the first try
Nothing hurts like love for the first time
