Tim Ponzek - The First Heartbreak of Spring Lyrics

We made it through the winter
The cold and starless nights felt like they'd never end
As the warmth replaced the winter chill
I felt like I could take my first clear breath again
Then I saw her turn to face me
Quickly turn and look away
As her words pierced the stillness of morning
I cursed the brand new day

I only lost her love
Why does it feel like I lost everything?
See life's misery in all its splendor
The first heartbreak of spring

This used to be my favorite
When spring broke through the cold to begin its yearly dance
Everything in the world would be renewed
Surely I should have had, at least another chance
Couldn't keep the day from warming
As she packed her things to leave
Now I know as the springtime grew closer
She was leaving me by degrees

I only lost her love
Why does it feel like I lost everything?
See life's misery in all its splendor
The first heartbreak of spring

Now the flowers look so cruel on their stems
Like they're trying to break free
The birds are fighting for their nests
As the bees steal from the trees
I never noticed before how vicious Spring can be
Now I see

I only lost her love
Why does it feel like I lost everything?
See life's misery in all its splendor
The first heartbreak of spring
The first heartbreak of spring
