Adele - First Love



So
little to say but so much time,
despite my empty mouth
the words are in my mind.
Please wear the face,
the one where you smile,
because you lighten up my heart
when I start to cry.


Forgive me first love, but I’m tired.
I need to get away
to feel again.
Try to understand why
don’t get so close to change my mind.
Please wipe that look out of your eyes,
it’s bribing me to doubt myself;
simply, it’s tiring.

This love has dried up and stayed behind,
and if I stay I’d live a lie
then choke on words
I’d always hide.
Excuse me first love,
but we’re through.
I need to taste a kiss from someone new.

Forgive me first love, but I’m too tired.
I’m bored to say the least
and I lack desire.
Forgive me, first love.
