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 shakin'
 Barely breathing
 Heart is racing
 Looks like feelings don't always change their minds
 But you never called, never showed up
 Guess somethings never change
 And just like livin' in a flashback... you let me down again
 And 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 lookin' at the driveway
 Is just tearing my heart back in half
 Like nothing's 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 drinking with a new blonde and tellin' her whatever's playing is her song
 Yeah and helpin' 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 holding on to letting go
 And 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 lookin' at the driveway
 Is just tearing my heart back in half
 Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
 And that's why goodbye should mean goodbye
 The first time
 ♪
 And 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 lookin' at the driveway
 Is just tearing my heart back in half
 Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
 And that's why goodbye should mean goodbye
 So now I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried
 The first time
 
 The first time
 And that's why the past should be the past
 Oh, the first time
