[Girl - Solo]1
I wish I could tell you
Why you woke up alone
And why,
I woke up to the smell
Of someone else's cologne2
There used to be a time
When leaving would never cross my mind
But times have changed, my friend
And I feel like leaving this all behind 3
Now I'm thinking4
[Chorus - Both Girl & Boy]5
Where did we go wrong?
It's so sad
It's just too bad
But you and I know
We can't take back
What we never had
Our love is too far gone
So what are we supposed to do
The morning after love moves on?6
[Guy - Solo]7
I wish I could tell you
Why I went running to the bar
Looking for a woman
Who isn't what you are8
I remember the days
When our love was so strong
And the flames of passion
Lasted all night long9
But lately I just feel chained
There's no heat in what we came to be
Watch out baby,
I'm running away10
And I'm thinking11
[Repeat Chorus]12
[Girl]13
I didn't mean for things to turn out this way
The way they did14
[Boy]15
I didn't mean for us to change
The way we did
[Girl]16
Oh,
But it is what it is17
[Both]18
It is what it is19
And I'm just wondering20
Where did we go wrong?
It's so sad
It's just too bad
But you and I know
We can't take back
What we never had21
My love is too far gone22
[Guy]23
So what am I supposed to do24
[Girl]25
What am I supposed to do26
[Both]27
The morning after love moves on? 28
Author notes
A second attempt about the same subject.
Yes, I know I still suck at song writing.
----
I see this song as a duet, if that isn't obvious. Sort of like points of view from the two people in a downhill relationship.
I realize that the format is a bit messy--I'm trying to keep notes on this song, so please bear with me.

wow ive never heard a song like this before the only was that instead of saying repeat chorus just put the chorus in there i know it would have made it longer but it would save ppl the troble of going back up to the chorus. Good job and keep on writing.

Thanks! I'm usually horrible at writing song lyrics, so I'm surprised this one turned out quite decent. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Hi Angel!
It's definitely a start and we can probably work with it.
Are you hearing a melody for the lyrics or parts of the lyrics?
