Kelsea Ballerini - 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 And that's why good-bye 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 this 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 So now I'm letting you go, just like I should've tried The first time

Oh, the first time And that's why the past should be the past Oh, the first time
