First Day of My Life

VERSE 1

I woke up with tears in my eyes, and pain,

burning inside for the last time…

Things were gonna change.

She walked out and I blocked out the sun

and my heartache had only begun,

but for my life…

This was not the end

CHORUS 1

Because a broken heart

can be the perfect place to start

I’ll think of today as, the first day of my life…

And when I find new love,

I won’t let the deep fear make me run

Because today is… The first day of my life…

VERSE 2

All of the pictures hung up on my walls

were reminders of my greatest fall,

I took them down, and painted it all.

Then I picked up this old six-string,

and I wrote some songs to sing

for a new life, was about to begin.

CHORUS 2

Because a broken heart

can be the perfect place to start

I’ll think of today as, the first day of my life…

And when I find new love,

I won’t let the deep fear make me run

Because today is… The first day of my life…

BRIDGE

On a first date, I’ll show up at sunset,

at the end of the night, I’ll lean in for a kiss

I won’t hold back, I’m gonna find out,

that getting back up is what life’s all about…

CHORUS 3

Because a broken heart

can be the perfect place to start

I’ll think of today as, the first day of my life…

And when I find new love,

I won’t let the deep fear make me run

Because today is… The first day of my life…

Today is… The first day of my life…

Today is… The first day of my life…
