Oh, friends! I wrote this one as I was falling asleep last week. It’s amazing the pure clarity you have as your eyes fill with sleep, isn’t it? I just started thinking about all the boys who broke my heart over the years and put them all together in one place. And then shut the notebook I wrote this in…
How many second chances have I wasted on you?
Just when I made my decision
You came galloping in with your hypnotizing half truths
I guess I should have listened to my heart the first time
When it told me how all this would end
Maybe then I wouldn’t be sitting here alone
And cursing your name again
Ooooh, and we both know why…
‘Cause in the morning light
Things don’t feel so right
Funny how your lies really do shine a spotlight on the truth
You can say what you want, but I’ve heard it all before
And I can’t bear to hear it anymore
After all this time, it turns out you’re the only reason I ever needed
To say goodbye
I almost forget everything, with one look in those eyes
They always said everything I was feeling
Until you used them as a weapon against me
Thought I was truly happy for the first time
It’s sad to know it was because of all your deceiving
‘Cause in the morning light
Things don’t feel so right
Funny how your lies really do shine a spotlight on the truth
You can say what you want, but I’ve heard it all before
And I can’t bear to hear it anymore
After all this time, it turns out you’re the only reason I ever needed
To say goodbye
You’re a smooth talker
Is that how you got me to forget everything around me
And fall down the rabbit hole head-first into your beauty?
‘Cause in the morning light
Things don’t feel so right
Funny how your lies really do shine a spotlight on the truth
You can say what you want, but I’ve heard it all before
And I can’t bear to hear it anymore
After all this time, it turns out you’re the only reason I ever needed
To say goodbye
‘Cause in the morning light
Things don’t feel so right
Funny how your lies really do shine a spotlight on the truth
You can say what you want, but I’ve heard it all before
And I can’t bear to hear it anymore
After all this time, it turns out you’re the only reason I ever needed
To say goodbye
