First Love - Mathew Lee Cothran

My first love mends my final days

Like a porch light left on

After everyone’s gone

Will wait till' you’re home as long as it can

My first love mends my final days

I am shored up in pain

Like a wrist tied in chains

Like a back made to break I understand

My first love mends my final days

I remember that kiss

The decay in your spit

Dreams too suffocated by my own hand

My first love mends my final days

Every childhood will end

And I know when mine did

I tore through my own skin

Only to see it mend

Only to see it mend

Only to see it mend

Only to see it mend

Only to see it mend

Only to see it mend
