First Love
Billie Piper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your first love is
Your first love is someone that
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
You say it's better to loved and lost
Then never to have loved at all
Try to sell it to this heart of mine
They say it's gonna take time
I think I've cried about a million tears
I've done a lot of living in a few short years
And it's all from you
I can't forget you
You're the first to ever really kiss me
You're the first to ever break my heart
Now I know in my life there'll be others
But you will always be my first love
First love
Everybody in the world can see
What my new boy means to me
Makes me feel like a woman inside
Where my little girl used to hide
Gettin' on with my life again
I still think about you every now and then
There's gotta be a first time for everything
Even when it comes to lovers
You're the first to ever really kiss me
You're the first to ever break my heart
Now I know in my life there'll be others
But you will always be my first love
First love
Lookin at some photographs
And I miss it
From the way you make me go
Ooh ooh
Felt like a woman when you drove me home
Saying somethin somethin on the telephone
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
You're the first to ever really kiss me
You're the first to ever break my heart
Now I know in my life there'll be others
But you will always be my first love
My first love
You're the first to ever really touch me
Not the last who's gonna make me cry
Now I know in my life there'll be others
But you will always be my first love
First love
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
Your first love is someone that you never forget
The song "First Love" by Billie Piper is a reflection on the lasting impact of one's first romantic partner. Piper sings about how her first love will always be a significant part of her life, despite her attempts to move on. Throughout the song, she acknowledges the pain of heartbreak and the desire to move forward, but ultimately concludes that her first love will always hold a special place in her heart.
The repetition of the line "Your first love is someone that you never forget" emphasizes the message of the song and underscores the idea that even if one falls in love again and again, their first love will remain a significant part of their past. Piper also explores the idea of personal growth, acknowledging that she has "done a lot of living in a few short years" since her first love, but still carries the memories and emotions with her.
Overall, "First Love" is a poignant exploration of the long-lasting emotional impact of our earliest romantic relationships. It's nostalgia and acknowledgement that we never forget such first precious memories bring the memories back to life in a whole new light years later.
