I don't recall what I was drinking
After the third one I was gone
Seventeen and not really thinking
Just wanted something real strong

Room spinning around faster and faster
Drowning in the midnight laughter
But nothing hits, nothing 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
Yeah, 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 nothing hits, nothing 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 spinning around faster and faster
Drowning in the midnight laughter
But nothing hits, nothing hurts
Oh, nothing hits, nothing hurts
Like the morning after.
