The morning after
You left a bitter taste
Was so good for a while
But it all went to waste
The night was broken
You left me on the floor
Was so good for a while
But I guess you wanted more
And didn't you think, as we looked into the sky
Oh, didn't you think, there's gotta be more to this life
What's the point, we spent our day
Wishing we hadn't wasted the night away
So don't come crawling back
When you realize she won't take you back
Cuz it's the price you've gotta pay
When you look at her
Don't think of you and me
Was so good for while
Babe, I know you'd agree
The moon was full then
You left me wanting more
Was so good for a while
Yeah, well, you would never have thought
And didn't you think, as everything fell through
Oh, didn't you think, there's gotta be more to do
What's the point, we spent our day
Wishing we hadn't wasted the night away
So don't come crawling back
When you realize she won't take you back
Cuz it's the price you gotta pay
The morning after, yeah, at least you told me why
Yeah, the morning after, oh, couldn't you survive?
The morning after, what's left to do
The morning after, I stood there watching you
And didn't you think, you knew you wanted her
Oh, you just didn't think, didn't you see the fur
What's the point, we spent our day
Wishing we hadn't wasted the night away
So don't come crawling back
When you realize she won't take you back
Cuz it's the price you gotta pay
What's the point, we spent our day
Wishing we hadn't wasted the night away
So don't come crawling back
When you realize she won't take you back
Cuz it's the price you gotta pay
The morning after, I stood and watched you play on your guitar
The morning after, I didn't think I'd last
