“It Always Hurts the Most in the Morning”

It always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

Every time I see something that you wore
I pick it up and throw it out the door
I keep trying to hide this feeling they call blue
But the more I do, the more I think of you

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

You told me that you loved me, but you lied
When I found out, I locked my door and cried
I tried to cover up by telling jokes
But the joke’s on me, and that’s what hurts the most

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry
I start to cry

[break]

When I asked you not to leave, you were cold as ice
It isn’t nice to have to ask for something twice
So now I’m lying here upon my floor
As your footsteps follow you right out my door

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

Yes, it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
