[Verse 1]
Wake up and talk to me
It's a long time since last night
I know we said things, the saddest things
And I'm not sure it was wise

[Pre-Chorus]
When the morning's sad
You don't look back
And you sure don't look ahead

[Chorus]
The morning sad
You know, the morning sad
The morning sad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad

[Verse 2]
I'm writing desperate songs
While you're fast asleep inside
I could try to sing
(I could try to bide my time to wake up)
Until it rings
But my voice comes out uptight
[Pre-Chorus]
See, when the morning's sad
You don't relax
But you cannot clear your mind

[Chorus]
The morning sad
You know the morning sad
The morning sad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad

[Bridge]
I tried a little, I tried a lot
I'm not a window
And you've seen through everything I've got
Oh, I don't think that I'll be safe
Until everyone's awake
Everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
So wake up and talk to me
Such a long time since last night
I know we said things, the maddest things
And I'm not sure who was right
[Pre-Chorus]
When the morning's sad
You won't attack
'Cause you're much too weak to fight

[Chorus]
The morning sad
You know the morning sad
The morning sad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad

[Outro]
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad, no
I've ever had it so bad
I never had it so bad, no
I never had it so bad
Yeah, yeah, yeah
