First to Love Lyrics
Emily, what did you say when he said, "Follow me"?
What would you give to live your tragedy?
There is no price he needn't pay.
You give yourself away.
(Oh)
She said, "No one's ever sent me flowers"..
Oh (Oh)
..as the tears filled her eyes. With the tears, she denied them.
Oh (Oh)
She said, "No one's ever sent me flowers."
Oh (Oh)
"You'll be the first I leave because I'm always the first to love."
Emily, what did you do to become part of me?
I'd do anything to be your tragedy.
If only my thoughts could bring you to break,
You'd give yourself to me.
(Oh)
She said, "No one's ever sent me flowers"..
Oh (Oh)
..as the tears filled her eyes. With the tears, she denied them.

I'm always the first to love.
I'm always the first to love.
I'm always the first to love.
I'm always the first to love.
(Oh)
She said, "No one's ever sent me flowers"..
Oh (Oh)
..as the tears filled her eyes. Like the world, she denied me.
Oh (Oh)
She said, "No one's ever sent me flowers."
Oh (Oh)
"You'll be the first I leave because I'm always the first to love."

Why does this sound like a song where a man (Davey) is in love with someone who is keeps going back to a partner who doesn't treat them right? Hence the lyrics:
"There is no price he needn't pay. You give yourself away."
"No one's ever sent me flowers"..
"You'll be the first I leave because I'm always the first to love."
I feel like the narrator is trying to be what she wants, what she goes for but the woman denies him because she has given up on being treated right either because she feels she doesn't deserve the narrator's love or she thinks that the narrator is only being nice and deserves a better lover than her.
I get the impression that the narrator is confused by these feelings and the woman's behavior.
