(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, and the world still looked the same
The sun was shining, didn't even know your name
The anger's gone now, just an echo in my head
A ghost of everything that I thought I had said
And all those little things that I put on a list
They feel so silly now, they feel like they were missed
What did I prove, what did I gain, from all that rage?
Just an empty feeling on an empty page
(Chorus)
And now I'm here, the day after the war
Just staring at a broken glass on the floor
I said I hated everything about you, every single scar
But what if the reflection I saw was just my own bizarre
Distorted version of who you truly are?
(Verse 2)
Remember the sound of your laugh, it’s not so bad now
Remember that t-shirt you wore, I can't place it anyhow
The frustration's a memory, a fever I've outrun
And I'm left with nothing, now that the fight is done
The list is gone, the hatred's all just smoke
I threw away the punchline to a tired joke
And what did it get me? Just an awful taste
Of all that time and all that emotion, completely laid to waste
(Chorus)
And now I'm here, the day after the war
Just staring at a broken glass on the floor
I said I hated everything about you, every single scar
But what if the reflection I saw was just my own bizarre
Distorted version of who you truly are?
(Bridge)
(Music gets even quieter, just a lone guitar and soft vocals)
Did I really mean it? Did I really mean a single word?
Or was I just yelling at a feeling that I had heard
Inside my own head, an echo I couldn't get rid of?
I don't know what it was, but I know it wasn't love.
(Outro)
(Music swells slightly, then fades out with a single, held-out acoustic chord)
The day after...
And I still don't know...
What happens now?
