I would have given you all of my heart,
but there's someone whose torn it apart.
And she's taken just all that I had,
but if you want, I'll try to love again.
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know:
The first cut is the deepest.
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest.
When it comes to bein' lucky, she's cursed.
When it comes to lovin' me, she's worst.
I still want you by my side,
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried.
And I'm sure gonna give you a try,
and if you want, I'll try to love again.

The first cut is the deepest.
