First Time

I put on my make up

Spray my perfume

Sat on the front porch

Waitin' on you

Said we would catch up

Because it had been awhile

I hate to admit it

But my hands are shaking

Barely breathin'

Heart is racin'

Looks like feelings don't

Always change their minds

But you never called

Never showed up

Guess somethings never change

And just like living in a flashback

You let me down again

That's why the past should be the past

Far behind

Back of mind

Out of the way

Let the memories burn and crash

'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway

Is just tearin my heart back in half

Like nothings changed

Except the time that's passed

And that's why goodbye

Should mean goodbye

The first time

I should know better

I hate that I still cry

Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights

And kickin' myself for believin' in you again

I bet your out drinkin' with a new blonde and

Telling her whatevers playin is her song

Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead

Even when you don't have me

You can still be the one to hurt me

It must feel good to know

That I'm still holdin' on to letting go

That's why the past should be the past

Far behind

Back of mind

Out of the way

Let the memories burn and crash

'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway

Is just tearin my heart back in half

Like nothings changed except

The time that's passed

And that's why goodbye

Should mean goodbye

The first time

Yeah that's why the past should be the past

Far behind

Back of mind

Out of the way

Let the memories burn and crash

'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway

Is just tearin my heart back in half

Like nothings changed except

The time that's passed

And that's why goodbye

Should mean goodbye

So I'm letting you go

Just like I should have tried

The first time

The first time

Yeah that's why the past should be the past

The first time
