[Verse 1]
I don't recall what I was drinkin'
But after the third one, I was gone
Seventeen and not really thinkin'
Just wanted somethin' real strong

[Chorus]
Room spinnin' around faster and faster
Drownin' in the midnight laughter
But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Like the mornin' after

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And that night, I lost everything that mattered
And I thought I couldn't get any sadder
But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Like the mornin' after

[Verse 3]
The mornin' after the storm
The mornin' after all the rain
When you wake up and you realize
That you'll never be the same
[Bridge]
Oh, I don't care what I'm drinkin'
Just give me somethin' real strong

[Chorus]
Room spinnin' around faster and faster
Drownin' in the midnight laughter
But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Oh, nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Like the mornin' after
