For The First Time (Love Is)

Forgive me

I made a mistake

It is not your fault at all, the blame rests with me

When you held me in your arms last night

A nd looked me deeply in the eyes just before we kissed.

I thought I heard a promise

Though you never said a word

M y mistake

A nd in the sweet comfort of love's after glow

I started building dreams upon tomorrow.

Before realizing foundations are built on today.

My mistake

You see I really thought your body next to mine made me safe

When it only made me warm

My mistake

And I thought the words in my ear came from your heart

Instead of being induced by the heat; a regular love mirage.

My mistake, I was  wrong

It's not the first damn time I've made a mistake

Just the god awful hardest

Cause I agree with kenny loggins now

For the first time I understand what love is

    Love is

    For the first time   

    Pain

No mistake there
