Morning
Duct Tape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So girls have their beauty salons
and guys have home depot,
girls play with our hearts for fun
cause they know that we won't
they talk about their guys
and how they screw around with
their hearts, we joke about it with our friends
then cry in the dark

i worry that she cheats on me
but that only seems fair
cause once i find out the truth
weather good or bad i'll dispair
cause if she did that sucks and
i'll have to bare that she lied
but if she still stayed loyal
i can see why she cried

they say its not gonna rain till morning
but its thunder storming and i'm worrying about you
you've been out since 9 on the cold dark night
and i know you see this starry sight,
so don't forget me. please don't forget me

i see you now and i cant open up myself
cause all those other times you opened to someone else
once i heard the news i didn't what to do
should have thought twice should have been nice
should have not thought it was you

they say its not gonna rain till morning
but its thunder storming and i'm worrying about you
you've been out since 9 on the cold dark night
and i know you see this starry sight,
so don't forget me. please don't forget me

i lied to you, am i fine to you,
i lied for, i cried for you...(x4)

they say its not gonna rain till morning
but its thunder storming and i'm worrying about you
you've been out since 9 on the cold dark night
and i know you see this starry sight,




so don't forget me. please don't forget me
cause i won't let you, forget me now
