For the First Time

Trouble finds me without warning

Standing in the light of morning

Wanna grab my things and hit the road

Must have done it a thousand times

All the leaving that would make things right

I've gone so far there's nowhere left to go

For the first time

I'm changing my mind

And I'm gonna stay

You opened my eyes

Finally realized

I'm what's in the way

I never knew when I quit bending

I hit the bottom but I keep on digging

Now I'm running out of things to take the pain

Here I stand with my white flag waving

Hoping you can believe what I'm saying

I was wrong I don't wanna stay the same

For the first time

Changing my mind

And I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

You opened my eyes

Finally realized

I'm what's in the way

What's in the way

For the first time

I'm changing my mind

And I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

You opened my eyes

Finally realized

I'm what's in the way

What's in the way
