You were the new kid
Had to take a glance at you
Couldn't help myself
How would I have known
I would fall in love?

You'd been gone over a year
And you'd left her far far behind
I was your love
So why'd she have to come
And ruin the whole affair

A glance at her
A glance at me
One, two three
Have to decide
Four, five, six
New girlfriend or old?
Whose heart will be broken?
Old comes before new

I flinch as you decide
Her over me
I was there for you
I loved you
But I couldn't say that
I hold back the tears
As I whisper Goodbye
And ran out of your love life

Looking at you in class
You want to stay friends
You don't know how it hurt me
And I remember thinking of a song
That sang the beautiful ones
Hurt you everytime (So so true)
And that got me wondering
If you ever remember

[Chorus]

I ran into you when I was twenty-one
Both of us were single
And you embarrassingly tried to apologize
For breaking my heart
For causing my tears
For choosing her over me
You tried to ask me out for dinner
I still wasn't over you
I smiled wisely and whispered

[Chorus]

Now I'm all grownup
And married to someone else
Thirty-five years later
And your choice still haunts me
When I remember my first love
My first hug
My first kiss
And I remember

[Chorus x2]

And I remember you
You
You
