First Love, I'd Rather Love

[Verse]
First love hit me like a storm
A quiet chaos kept me warm
It wasn’t perfect but it was ours
Chasing dreams under falling stars

[Prechorus]
I held on tight
Too scared to lose
But love isn’t something you choose

[Chorus]
First love
I’d rather love
Than hide away
Than not feel enough
Bruised and broken
Still I’ll stay
First love
I’d rather love this way

[Verse 2]
Your laugh
It echoes in my chest
A haunted joy
I feel it best
The world was small
It fit our hands
Two fools who thought we’d understand

[Prechorus]
We let it burn
We watched it fade
But I’d relight it any day

[Chorus]
First love
I’d rather love
Than fear the fall
Than fear the rough
It carved my heart
It shaped my soul
First love
I’d rather love it whole
