I woke up early today
Something felt 
Different somehow
The curtains 
Were dancing slow
And my heart knew
What I wouldn't allow
(Ohhh...)

The sun came 
Rising up
And I couldn't 
Hide anymore

Morning light
Showed me the truth
(Showed me)
(Showed me)
What I tried 
To deny about you
Baby, now I see it 
All so clear
Our love's been fading
For the past year
(Oh, been fading)
(Fading away)

Empty coffee cups
On the table for one
All those promises
We made are done
Your side of the bed's
Getting cold
Now I understand 
What you never told
(Mmmm...)

Each sunrise
Brings me closer
To accepting 
What I know

Morning light
Showed me the truth
(Showed me)
(Showed me)
What I tried 
To deny about you
Baby, now I see it 
All so clear
Our love's been fading
For the past year
(Oh, been fading)
(Fading away)

I've been blind 
For so long
Holding on 
To what was wrong
But this morning 
Changed everything
And though it hurts
I'm finally free
(Finally free, oh)
(I'm finally free)

Morning light
Showed me the truth
(Showed me
 the truth, baby)
What I tried 
To deny about you
Baby, now I see 
It all so clear
Our love's been fading 
For the past year
(Fading)
(Fading, oh-oh)
