The Morning After

I don't recall what I was drinking

But after the third one I was gone

Seventeen and not really thinking

Just wanted something real strong

Room spinnin' round faster and faster

Drownin' in the midnight laughter

But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts

Like the morning after

I gave in to him completely

We made plans and we made love

But this world can cut a heart so deeply

And we both gave 'til we both gave up

And that night I lost everything that mattered

And I thought I couldn't get any sadder

But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts

Like the morning after

The morning after the storm

The morning after all the rain

When you wake up and you realize

That you'll never be the same

Oh I don't care what I'm drinking

Just give me something real strong

Room spinnin' round faster and faster

Drownin' in the midnight laughter

But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts

Oh nothin' hits, nothin' hurts

Like the morning after
