Lyrics
Verse 1
We broke up last week
You called and I picked up again
I knew better than this
Better than this
Better than this
One more night in your arms
One more lie that I wanted to live
Now I'm back where I was
Where I was
Where I was
Pre-Chorus
For a couple hours
I could almost believe
Nothing was broken
Nothing had changed
Chorus
It's the morning after
And I hate what I did
Gave my heart a reason
To start hoping again
It's the morning after
And the truth's coming back
Last night felt like forever
This morning feels like that
Verse 2
Your side of the bed
Still carrying traces of us
And I'm fighting myself
Fighting myself
Fighting myself
'Cause the reasons we ended
Didn't disappear in the dark
They're still waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
Pre-Chorus
For a couple hours
I could almost believe
Nothing was broken
Nothing had changed
Chorus
It's the morning after
And I hate what I did
Gave my heart a reason
To start hoping again
It's the morning after
And the truth's coming back
Last night felt like forever
This morning feels like that
Bridge
I wanted closure
Instead I got caught
Between what I needed
And what I forgot
I thought I was stronger
Than the pull of your touch
Now I'm left with the feeling
That I gave you too much
Final Chorus
It's the morning after
And I'm done pretending
One night doesn't fix
What was already ending
It's the morning after
And it hurts to admit
I don't want you forever
I just wanted this
Outro
It's the morning after
The morning after
I don't want you forever
I just wanted this
