Intro
I put on my mGake up, spray myD perfume
Sat on the frAont porch, waitin'Bm on you
Said we would cGatch up cause it hDad been a whiAle
I hate to admGit it, but my handsD are shaking
Barely brAeathing, heartBm is racing
Looks like fGeelings don't alwDays change their miAnd
But yGou never called, nDever showed up
Guess sAomethings neverBm change
And jGust like living Din a flashback, you lAet me down again
And that's why the pGast should be thDe past
FAar behind, back of mBmind, out of the way
Let the mGemories burn andD crash
Cause sAittin' here looking at the drivewayD
Is just tGearin' my heartD back in half
Like nAothing's changed exceptBm the time that's passed
And thGat's why goodbye shDould mean goodbyAe, the first tGimDe A
I should know bGetter, I hate that ID still cry
Looking like a fAool here watching fBmor headlights
And kGicking myself fDor believin' in you againA
Oh I bet you're out drGinking with aD new blonde
And telling hAer whatever's playing Bmis her song
Yeah and hGelping her upD into your Chevy instAead
GEven when you dDon't have me
You can stAill be the one tBmo hurt me
It mGust feel good tDo know
That I'm still hAoldin' on to letting go
And that's why the pGast should be thDe past
FAar behind, back of mBmind, out of the way
Let the mGemories burn andD crash
Cause sAittin' here looking at the drivewayD
Is just tGearin' my heartD back in half
Like nAothing's changed exceptBm the time that's passed
And thGat's why goodbye shDould mean goodbyAe, the first time
Interlude
Yeah that's why the pGast should be thDe past
FAar behind, back of mBmind, out of the way
Let the mGemories burn Dand crash
Cause sAittin' here looking at this drivewayD
Is just teGarin' my heartD back in half
Like nAothing's changed exceptBm the time that's passed
And thGat's why goodbye shDould mean goodbyAe
So now I'm lGetting you go, justD like I should have trAied, the first tGimDe A
BmOh, the first tGimDe, oh yAeah
Yeah that's why the pGast should be thDe past, oAooBmh, the first tGimDe, yAeah
