The Real Damage Frank Turner INTRO VERSE1 I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, Surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know On failing to find my friends I decided that it was clearly time to go VERSE2 So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could There was no one there I knew to say goodbye, Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine Of the Sunday morning light CHORUS 1 I started the night with all my friends and I ended up alone Oh yes, I started out so happy now I'm hung over and down it was about then that I realised I was halfway through the best years of my life VERSE3 I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was And maybe even find a bus back home I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets And a charger for my phone VERSE4 Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last And so I rifled through my pockets for some change But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes And a sinking sense of shame CHORUS 2 / MIDDLE I started the night with all my friends and I ended up alone Oh yes, I started out so happy now I'm hung over and down it was about then that I realised I was halfway through the best years of my life I had to ask myself well... Is it really worth it? Is any of this worth it? Well the whole thing's far from perfect, / But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time. VERSE5 Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains The real damage started to sink in It had been quite a heavy weekend And I could just about remember where I'd been. CHORUS3 Well I started the night with all my friends And I ended up alone, I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down. I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick It was about then that I realized I was halfway through The first day of the week
