The Morning After

Ashley Monroe

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
