First Goodbye

Scritti Politti


Then I got my first goodbye 
I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes 
I was sure that you loved me 
Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be 

They played a song that took me back, girl 
I closed my eyes and we were there in John Frost Square 
It's only now that I realise, girl 
I threw away my one true love 
I watched us standing at the station 
And you were cold and oh you cried, how I lied 
I told you then I didn't need you, girl 
'Cause I was cool and on my way 

Then I got my first goodbye 
I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes 
I was sure that you loved me 
Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be 

And then I put my past behind me 
And life was good and times were high, and I could fly 
Even then a voice would find me 
And say your name, and ask me why 
And so in time I tried to find you 
I sent a message care of Sarah, and you were there and said: 
"I was time you put behind you" 
And now you're happy and so in love 

Then I got my first goodbye 
I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes 
I was sure that you loved me 
Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be 

It's only now I realise, girl 
Ooh yeah 

Then I got my first goodbye 
I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes 
In my eyes (in my eyes) 
In my eyes (ooh baby) 
In my eyes (you made me cry) 
In my eyes 

Then I got my first goodbye 
I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes 
I was sure that you loved me 
Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be
