  • Summer days were oh-so bright
    We laugh, looking at shapes up in the sky
    Oh no
    And I don't know if I remember right
    But I swear you said that you'd never leave my side
    But you lied

    They say blood's thicker than water
    But I'm closer to the ocean than to you
    Oh, to you
    And I wish when I was younger
    I hadn't put all of my faith into you
    Oh, to you

    'Cause my first heartbreak looks a little bit like me
    He's got my eyes and a freckle on his cheek
    And I can't hide it, it's bitter and it's sweet
    'Cause my first heartbreak looks a little bit like me
    A little bit like me (a little bit like me)

    And when you left, I learned to cry
    But what hurt me most was my mother's eyes when she wept
    Oh no
    And I blamed myself a thousand times
    I thought I was the reason why you left
    Oh no

    They say blood's thicker than water
    But I'm closer to the ocean than to you
    Oh, to you
    And I wish when I was younger
    I hadn't put all of my faith into you
    Oh, to you

    'Cause my first heartbreak looks a little bit like me
    He's got my eyes and a freckle on his cheek
    And I can't hide it, it's bitter and it's sweet
    'Cause my first heartbreak looks a little bit like me
    A little bit like me

    My first heartbreak, he left me at thirteen
    But I have grown and fixed what's underneath
    One thing he taught me was how to never be
    'Cause when I'm a father, just know I'll never leave
    Just know I'll never leave Writer/s: Andrea Rocha, Myles Michael Smith-Thompson
