First to Fall - Bao Binh
Everyone remembers the first
Gathered on crowded stairs
Stories spinning in the air
Laughing through the love and pain
Each one touched by summer rain
Someone's soft and barely kissed
Someone's names we still have missed
But in the dark we all confess
We once were fools in treating mess
Doesn't matter how it ends
We were lovers, we were friends
Innocence was all we knew
And every heartbeat felt so true
First to fall, first to cry
First to chase the blue of sky
We were broken, we were bold
Writing love in stories told
First to dream, first to run
Chasing for the sun we were clumsy, we were small
But we were brave, we were first
One fell hard to someone wise
Another kissed in sweet disguise
One just held a little hands
And still believed in promised land
Makeup smudged and dresses torn
Tears that fell before the morn
No regrets but aching hearts
First love plays the hardest heart
And now we sit and tell it all
As shadows dance upon the wall
Laugh to silence in between
Every girl recalls her scene
First to fall, first to cry
First to chase the blue of sky
We were broken, we were bold
Writing love in stories told
First to dream, first to run
Chasing for the sun we were clumsy, we were small
But we were brave, we were first
To fall
Some will fade and some will last
Some are ghosts we can't walk past
But even now when lights go low
Their voices in the memories glow
First to fall, first to feel
Every story once was real
We were foolish, maybe blind
But love began inside that time
First to fall, not lost to stay
But worth it all in every way
We were first
To fall
