After Last Call

I’m looking for mercy in a pint glass
I’ve been asking the mirror for change
I’m thinking that you might like to go
And I’m wondering who might ever stay

It’s the same old worry, it’s the same mistake
After last call I need another
And think every mended heart deserves a break

Got nothing left to say tonight
I used every word that makes us fight
Now I can’t go home, I’m too afraid to phone
You’re better off alone, but I’m worse off alone

I’m praying to no God I can think of
I been wandering a street I can’t name
I’m smiling at strangers in the darkness
and I’m hoping they don’t see my shame

Where I learned I can’t explain
I don’t get my way I just complain
Wish you didn’t know or I’d find control
But what we hide time always shows

So it’s the same old worry, it’s the same mistake
After last call I need another
And think every mended heart deserves a break
