I put on my make up, spray my perfume
Sit on the front porch waiting on you
You said we would catch up cause it have been awhile

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

But you never called never showed up
Guess somethings things never change
And its just like living in a flash back
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 sitting here looking at the driveway
It's 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
Looking like a fool, here looking for headlights
And kicking myself for believing in you again

I bet you're out drinking, with a new blonde
And telling her whatever is 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 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 sitting here looking at the driveway
It's 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 sitting here looking at the driveway
It's 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
