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 nothing's changed except the time that's pa**ed
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
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 pa**ed
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
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 pa**ed
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
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, yeah
The first time
