I cut both my knees the first time that I rode a bike
And I crashed my mom's car back when I was still learning to drive
I got my ass kicked the first time I got in a fight
And I passed out on Long Street the first night I gave beer a try

And love's no different
I did it wrong the first go around

Now I'm standing in the kitchen
Let it really sink in
We'll never dance here again
Oh, keys are on the counter
Wish I could've found her
A couple years later instead
I'm sorry that you had to be my first love

No, I won't roll my eyes when you bring up your ex in conversation
And I will try to keep cool when your dad misses your graduation
And I will show up and hold you when life's got you down on the pavement
There's a thousand more things that I would do different the next time around

Now I'm standing in the kitchen
Let it really sink in
We'll never dance here again
Oh, keys are on the counter
Wish I could've found her
A couple years later instead
I'm sorry that you had to be my first love

(Oh, oh) Oh-oh
(Oh, oh)

Oh, I'd go back to beginning
And rewrite our ending
And do what I didn't know how
Oh, it's clear from a distance
If I'd done it different
You'd probably be with me now

Standing in the kitchen
Let it really sink in
We'll never dance here again
Oh, keys are on the counter
Wish I could've found her
A couple years later instead
Oh, I'm sorry that you had to be my first love

Sorry that you had to be my
Sorry that you had to be my (oh, oh)
Sorry that you had to be my
I'm sorry that you had to be my first love
