[Verse 1]
Don't come looking for me
Cause I'll be right here with the words you said
And looking for the words that you say
You know what you did you know
And how can anybody forget the promise that you made?
Cause this is how a promise breaks
I always knew you'd fall through
And now you're proof

[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye

[Verse 2]
And now you're running from me
So cool, so scared of what you might have said
And no one's ever looked away
Cause we know what you did, we know
If I told anybody, they would soon forget your name
And you would never have a place
I always knew you'd fall through
And now you're proof

[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye

[Bridge]
Please don't say too much oh, I
Think we've heard enough from you
Oh

[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
