When I was in 9th grade, I fell in love Went through the whole chariad We had matching necklaces In secret held each other's hands The necklaces were yin and yang Darkness and light I wore it, believing our love was worth the fight Never took it off because I knew we were right When your dark chocolate eyes were laced with mine I saw no lies when you said your heart was mine But as time flew by, I realised you did not lie It was just my heart that wasn't worth a dime I was in Grade 9 when I fell for you When I thought darkness and light could be two in one But I was too innocent, I was not a damsel in distress So your hands laced with someone else's dress I liked you best My friends can attest That I denied when they said you were in her bed But I guess two worlds can't collide, your words against mine Now laced with lies, saying there are other guys But I wanted you I was a kid, yet I knew what we had was true Now in the 12th grade Still writing of you in hidden phrases I should be over it, I know, but there are times When I look in the sky, I remember my first love The dove and the raven are destined to fall Intertwined as if fate is bored

First love
When I was in 9th grade, I fell in love Went through the whole chariad We had matching necklaces In secret held each other's hands The necklaces were yin and yang Darkness and light I wore it, believing our love was worth the fight Never took it off because I knew we were right When your dark chocolate eyes were laced with mine I saw no lies when you said your heart was mine But as time flew by, I realised you did not lie It was just my heart that wasn't worth a dime I was in Grade 9 when I fell for you When I thought darkness and light could be two in one But I was too innocent, I was not a damsel in distress So your hands laced with someone else's dress I liked you best My friends can attest That I denied when they said you were in her bed But I guess two worlds can't collide, your words against mine Now laced with lies, saying there are other guys But I wanted you I was a kid, yet I knew what we had was true Now in the 12th grade Still writing of you in hidden phrases I should be over it, I know, but there are times When I look in the sky, I remember my first love The dove and the raven are destined to fall Intertwined as if fate is bored
