A simple young love
Happy as could be
Then you died
As I held you

Ravaged by men
In unholy ways
A crime of night
And you couldn't deal

What hell it was
Your death
Your brothers suicide
And all my fault

I stopped feeling
How could I
When you weren't there
When you died in my arms

How mean I got
I fought
Tried to deal with the anger
The sorrow and pain

I couldn't
I almost died
My parents grieved
Knowing my agony

But then I met her
Just in time
To save my life
And give it meaning again

She's so strange
Different from all the others
Whom I used
To try to forget you

This is real
I love her so
Who would have thought
I could ever love again

I'm sorry, baby
I think I love her more
Than I ever loved you
Impossible as it seemed

I've told her the truth
About you
She holds you in her heart
Having felt your pain too

But don't worry
I love you
I always will
You'll always be my first
