The Morning After

Im in love with the world,
Through the eyes of a girl,
Whos still around the morning after.
We broke up a month ago,
When I grew up, I didnt know
Itd be around the morning after.
Its always been wait and see,
A happy day didnt pay
Feel like shit the morning after.
But now I feel changed around,
And instead falling down,
Im standing up the morning after.
Situations get fucked up
Turned around sooner or later
I could be another fool,
Or an exception top the rule
You tell me the morning after.
Crooked spin cant come to rest
Im damaged bad at best
Shell decide what she wants
Ill probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows
See how it is they want you or they dont
Im in love with the world,
Through the eyes of a girl,
Whos still around the morning after
