In the Prose of Passion
You Should Be the First One
YOU SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
I TRY TO DO THINGS MY WAY
I THINK I'M IN CONTROL
KEEP DIGGING MYSELF DEEPER
CAN'T GET OUT FROM THIS HOLE
DON'T LISTEN TO YOU CALLING
TO LET ME TAKE YOUR HAND
UNTIL I THINK IT'S TOO LATE
IT'S THEN I UNDERSTAND
YOU SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
THE FIRST ONE I SHOULD CALL
WHENEVER I FEEL TROUBLED
BEFORE I TAKE THAT FALL
YOU SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
IN WHOM I PUT MY TRUST
BUT I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN
INSTEAD I TURN AND RUN
THE BURDENS ON MY SHOULDERS
ARE WAY TOO MUCH TO BEAR
YOU SAY YOU'LL MAKE ME STRONGER
SO I COME TO YOU IN PRAYER
YOU PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
AND GIVE ME STRENGTH TO LIVE
I TELL YOU THAT I'M SORRY
YOU ALWAYS WILL FORGIVE
YOU SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
THE FIRST ONE THAT I CALL
YOU ARE THERE TO CATCH ME
YOU WILL NOT LET ME FALL
YOU SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
I TAKE MY TROUBLES TO
YOU'LL BE THERE TO SAVE ME
I'LL PUT MY TRUST IN YOU
