First Place
[Verse 1]
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 lookin' 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 (Get)
[Chorus]
I should've seen it comin' maybe
Then I wouldn't have to see her runnin'
Out the door in the pourin' 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 makin' her wanna stay
I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
[Verse 2]
If I hadn't put us in a bad position, yeah
It might've been a little different
Didn't have to end, wouldn't have to try again
But that's lookin' back with 20/20 vision
[Chorus]
I should've seen it comin' maybe
Then I wouldn't have to see her runnin'
Out the door in the pourin' 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 makin' her wanna stay
I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
[Post-Chorus]
No
[Bridge]
She'll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas
And I'm the only one livin' in the past
Lookin' at an empty glass
[Chorus]
I should've seen it comin' maybe
Then I wouldn't have to see her runnin'
Out the door in the pourin' 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 makin' her wanna stay
I should've never put her second in the first place
Should've never put her second in the first place
I should've been hell bent
On makin' 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
[Outro]
Should've never put her second in the first place
I should've never put her second in the first place
