lyrics

She will always be the first
and so you will never forget
she is a thorn to pierce
your tender heart.
And this wound that hurts you so
is the hurt you need to grow.
Cry.

Hungrily tasting her berry stained lips,
you planting your kisses right there.
Rise up before her now
she holds you in her hands
brings you from bud into bloom,
in her you drown.
And this wound that hurts you so
is the hurt you need to grow.
Cry.

A thorn upon the rose,
the boy becomes a man.
Although she is the first
she’ll not be the last.
And this wound that hurts you so
Is the hurt you need to grow.
