Songtexte First Place - Brett Kissel

Of all the ways it could've gone, this is the worst case
She didn't even pack a suitcase
Just a change of clothes in a backpack
No give a damn left, no looking back

She'll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas
She ain't wastin' time on a second chance
She's about as gone as a girl can get

I should've seen it coming, maybe then I wouldn't have to see her
Running out the door in the pouring rain
Should've given her a reason not to ever think of leavin'
Now a "Baby, I'm sorry" is just a little too late
I should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay
I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place

If I hadn't put us in a bad position, yeah
It might've been a little different
It didn't have to end
Wouldn't have to try again

I should've seen it coming maybe then I wouldn't have to see her
Running out the door in the pouring rain
Should've given her a reason not to ever think of leavin'
Now a "Baby, I'm sorry" is just a little too late
I should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay
I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
No

She'll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas
Now I'm the only one living in the past
Looking at an empty glass

I should've seen it coming, maybe then I wouldn't have to see her
Running out the door in the pouring rain
Should've given her a reason not to ever think of leavin'
Now a "Baby, I'm sorry" is just a little too late
I should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay
I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
Oh, should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay

I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
No, no
Should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
