7AM Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
7AM, I'm wakin' up
Guess that I should've kept the curtains shut

I'm gonna be a better man someday
7AM, I'm out of luck
Guess that I should've tried to give a fuck
I guess that I was doin' it wrong this time, wrong this time again

[Chorus]
I'm no good at this, I'm fuckin' up
I got used to failin', but I'm not dumb
So excuse me if I'm wastin' all the fun

[Verse 2]
I know that I wanna be independent
I really wanna prove myself today
But what if I'm hopeless and dependent?
Once again, should I pack up or stay?

[Chorus]
I'm no good at this, I'm fuckin' up
I got used to failin', but I'm not dumb
So excuse me if I'm wastin' all the fun
[Verse 3]
What if I'm not cut out for this?
And I keep one to call it quits
What if I'm not cut out for this?
And I keep one to call it quits
What if I'm not cut out for this?
And I keep one to call it quits, yeah
What if I'm not cut out for this? Woah
And I keep one to call it quits
Oh, woah

[Outro]
Woo-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
