"First Time (Live From The HEARTFIRST Tour)" lyrics

I put on my make-up, sprayed my perfume
Sat on the front porch, waiting on you
Said we would catch up 'cause it had been awhile

I hate to admit it, my hands are shaking
Barely breathing, heart is racing
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds

But you never called, never showed up
Guess some things never change
And just like living in a flashback you're letting 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 sitting here looking 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

Ta-ra-ta-da, I hate that I still cry
Looking like a fool here watching for headlights and kicking myself for believing in you again
I bet you're out drinking with a new blonde
And telling her whatever's playing is her song
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, I'm still holding 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
Sitting here looking 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

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 sitting here looking 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've tried
The first time

Yeah, the first time
