The 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 good-bye 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

 Oh, the first time
