For The First Time
The Script Lyrics

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
She is in bed, heartbroken and unable to function properly.

While I'm drinkin' Jack all alone in my local bar
I am drinking alone in a bar, without her, and maybe trying to forget my own pain.

And we don't know how
We are confused and struggling to understand how we got here.

How we got into this mad situation
We are both in a difficult situation, and we don't know how we ended up here.

Only doing things out of frustration
Our actions are born out of frustration, desperation, and lack of any other options.

Tryna make it work, but man, these times are hard
We are trying our best but struggling to make things work in these tough times.

She needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time
She needs emotional support, but I am having trouble finding the time to be there for her.

I got a new job now on the unemployment line
Despite efforts, I am now unemployed and trying to make ends meet.

And we don't know how
We still don't understand how we ended up in this difficult situation.

How we got into this mess, is it God's test?
We are questioning the reasons behind our struggles, wondering if there is a higher purpose or test involved.

Someone help us 'cause we're doin' our best
We are reaching out for help and support, having done all we can ourselves.

But we're gonna start by
Despite everything, we remain optimistic and determined to try and make things better.

Drinkin' old cheap bottles of wine
We will start by indulging in simple pleasures, like drinking cheap wine together.

Shit talkin' up all night
We will spend the night talking and venting about everything frustrating us, letting it all out.

Sayin' things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We will also express long-held feelings and desires that we haven't voiced in a long time, rekindling intimacy.

We're smilin' but we're close to tears
Despite our best efforts to stay positive, our struggles still weigh heavy on us, and we are at the brink of breaking down.

Even after all these years
Despite having known each other for so long, we still have fresh experiences and feelings in this trying time.

We just now got the feelin' that we're meetin'
Despite knowing each other, these hard times have transformed us, and we feel like we are meeting each other again, for the first time.

For the first time
These hard times and our deepening connection make us feel like we are experiencing things anew, for the first time.

She's in line at the dole with her head held high
She is standing in line for government assistance without shame or self-pity, only determination to make it through.

While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride
While I may be unemployed, I still have my self-respect and dignity intact.

And we both know how
We've been through enough hardships to know that we can get through this, using the same resilience and determination we have displayed before.

How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
We know that we will have to overcome significant emotional and practical hurdles to make this work, but we are ready to persevere.

When you pick yourself up, you get kicked to the dirt
We know that trying to improve and recover sometimes feels like a futile exercise, but we will keep trying anyway.

Oh, these times are hard
Despite our optimism, we still acknowledge how painfully difficult these times are.

Yeah, they're makin' us crazy
We accept that this struggle is taking its toll on us, both mentally and emotionally.

Don't give up on me, baby
Despite everything, we refuse to give up on each other, and we will try our very best to make things better.
