1.
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl Who's still around the morning after We broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know I'd be around the morning after It's always been wait and see A happy day and then you pay And feel like shit the morning after But now I feel changed around and instead falling down I'm standing up the morning after Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule You tell me the morning after Crooked spin can't come to rest I'm damaged bad at best She'll decide what she wants I'll probably be the last to know No one says until it shows, see how it is They want you or they don't Say yes I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl Who's still around the morning after
2.
Drink up, baby, stay up all night With the things you could do, you won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now and forget all about The pressure of days, do what I say And I'll make you okay and drive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before that you Don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up, baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again, between the bars Where I'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine Keep you apart, deep in my heart Separate from the rest, where I like you the best And keep the things you forgot People you've been before that you Don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still
3.
Everytime the day darkens down And goes away, pictures open In my head of me and you Silent and cliche all the things We did and didn't say Covered up, by what we did and didn't do Going through Every hour I used to cope to make The repetition stop What was I supposed to say? Oh Now I never leave my zone, we're both alone I'm going home I wish I'd never seen your face
4.
I'm waiting for the train The subway that only goes one way The stupid thing that will come to pull us apart And make everybody late You spent everything you had Wanted everything to stop that bad And now I'm a crushed credit card registered to Smith Not the name that you call me with You turned white like a saint I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flake paint Oh we're so very precious, you and I And everything that you do makes me want to die Oh I just told the biggest lie I just told the biggest lie The biggest lie
5.
6.
I had tender feelings that you made hard But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred So when I go home I'll be happy to go You're just somebody that I used to know You don't need my help anymore It's all now to you, there ain't no before Now that you're big enough to run your own show You're just somebody that I used to know I watched you deal in a dying day And throw a living past away So you can be sure that you're in control You're just somebody that I used to know I know you don't think you did me wrong And I can't stay this mad for long Keeping ahold of what you just let go You're just somebody that I used to know
