As the night turned into day
The carbonation started to dissipate
Checked your watch and it had got late
Both in agreement that you ought to stay
As you stumbled up the hill
Drunk and salivating for a thrill
You had the sense to stay the night
But not the sense to start a life
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited then why am I here?
Why am I here?
As the days turn into years
The sweet nostalgia started to disappear
Gone with every callous joke
And disregard for things I fear the most
What’s the point in keeping score?
If I can’t let myself care anymore
It ain’t that hard to play your part
But I stopped wishing that you’d start
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited then why?
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasn’t invited then why am I here?
