First Time - Kelsea Ballerini

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 some things never change

And just like living in a flashback, 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 sittin' here lookin' at the driveway

Is just tearin' my heart back in half

Like nothing’s changed, except the time that’s passed

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 whatever’s 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

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 sittin' here lookin' at the driveway

Is just tearin' my heart back in half

Like nothing’s changed, except the time that’s passed

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 nothing’s changed except the time that’s passed

And that’s why good-bye should mean good-bye

So now I’m letting you go, just like I shoulda tried

The first time

The first time, oh yeah

Yeah, that’s why the past should be the past, oh

The first time

Yeah
