One Tree Hill - Soundtrack

"The First Cut Is The Deepest"

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I have
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
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he'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
If you want I'll try to love again, (try)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

OOHHH,
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
Cuz if you want I'll try to love again
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know, OOHHH....

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
Baby I know (baby I know)
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again...

*****

When this song was released some years ago, I liked it without knowing the reason why. I didn't even try to understand what the song means. And then the song didn't linger to my mind any longer that it just slipped out my mind. But when I watched the first season of One Tree Hill, I was reminded of the song. It was then that I tried to listen to the words as Sheryl Crow sang on one episode. Then it hit me. Bullseye! Oh well.. Let's say I can sort of, relate to this song. You know.. that feeling of being hurt over and over again that you start feeling so numb and then your heart is now afraid to give a chance to anyone who comes after a heartbreak... I don't even know which cut is the deepest. There are just too many cuts and scratches. I can hardly remember the first. That's what you get when you easily fall for a crap, when you are so damn sensitive. But my point is: A cut is a cut, may it be deep or shallow. Surely it changes things, even if being unfair is part of it, unfair to the one who helps you recover from the past.

To Whom It May Concern:

I still want you by my side ... maybe i'll try to love again.
