Hangover

Should have known better than to love a man named after a whiskey
Sure tastes good in the evening night
But all those hangovers in college should have taught me
I'd regret that drink in the morning light

Should have known the numbness can't be that good
Should have seen you were hell-bound
And just like every crystal glass has ever shown
Nothings clear when seen through amber-brown

No, you aren't what they'd call "the good stuff,"
And your brand isn't as good as red label
With all the strength in your after-bite
You don't do anything but make me unstable

I should have known my knees would grow weak
Should have seen through my drunken haze
But falling on the floor and waking up broken
Only has to happen once for me to break this phase

And I won't be your whiskey girl
And I won't be here anymore, if you please
And I don't give a damn how blind I was
I'm sober now, and I should have seen

Should have known better than to love a man named after a whiskey
Sure tastes good in the evening night
But all those hangovers in college should have taught me
I'd regret that drink in the morning light
Oh, I regret drinking you last night
