[Verse 1]
She just walked away
Why didn't she tell me?
And where do I go tonight?
This isn't happening to me
This can't be happening to me
She didn't say a word
Just walked away

[Chorus 1]
You were the first to say
That we were not okay
You were the first to lie
When we were not alright
This was my first love
She was the first to go
And when she left me for you
I was the last to know

[Verse 2]
Why didn't she tell me where to go tonight?
She didn't say a word
She just walked away

[Chorus 1]
You were the first to say that we were not okay
You were the first to lie when we were not all right
This was my first love
She was the first to go
And when she left me for you, I was the last to know

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
I'll be the first to say that now I'm okay
And for the first time, I've opened up my eyes
This was my worst love
You'll be the first to go
And when she leaves you for dead, you'll be the last to know
I'll be the first to say that now I'm okay
And for the first time, I've opened up my eyes
This was my worst love
You'll be the first to go
And when she leaves you for dead, you'll be the last to know

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
