You Didn't Have a Good Time

  • Your hand was wrapped around th ebottle
    Your arm wrapped around her waist
    You were running at full throttle
    Big smile across your face

    You were the life of the party
    But it was all in your mind
    I hate to be the one to tell you
    You didn't have a good time

    well I bet you don't remember
    Kneeling in that bathroom stall
    Praying for salvation
    And cursing out the hall

    The you went right back to drinking
    Like everything was fine
    But let's be honest with each other
    You didn't have a good time

    [Chorus]
    So take a good hard look in the mirror
    And drink that image down
    I'm the truth you can't run from
    I'm the conscious you can't grind
    And the happiness you want so bad
    You ain't going to find
    Until you start believing
    You didn't have a good time

    When you woke up this morning
    I guess you just assumed
    That you got something out of
    The empty bottles in this room

    There ain't an angel that can save you
    When you're listening to the wise
    And the demons they won't tell you
    You didn't have a good time

    [Chorus]

    Somebody had to tell you
    You didn't have a good time Writer/s: JIM MCCORMICK, KRISTIAN FRANS BERGSNES, PATRICK JASON MATTHEWS
