Afterthought

I'm the voice in your head that you can't keep out

I'm the eyes that you find in a faceless crowd

Like a flame in the wind that you can't slow down

It'll feed, steal the breath right from your mouth

Oh, you think you know me

But I think you don't

Oh, you think you own me

But you can't ignore me

Life

I won't let it pass me by

I won't let you close your eyes on me

Won't let you sleep on me

Now I'm

The first thing to cross your mind

The last thing you left to die and rot

Won't be your afterthought

Your afterthought

I've been here all along, but it's nothing new

Like a crack in the pain that you look right through

Your silver tongue left me lost in a thin dust

Let me out in the rain to rust

Crawling back on the day that I don't need you

Oh, you think you know me

But I think you don't

But I think you don't

Oh, you think you own me

But you can't ignore me

Life

I won't let it pass me by

I won't let you close your eyes on me

Won't let you sleep on me

Now I'm

The first thing to cross your mind

The last thing you left to die and rot

Won't be your afterthought

Your afterthought

So after all

Is said and done

Will you reach for me

Or will you turn and run?

After all

Is said and done

Will you reach for me

Or will you turn and run?

Life

I won't let it pass me by

I won't let you close your eyes on me

Won't let you sleep on me

Now I'm

The first thing to cross your mind

The last thing you left to die and rot

Won't be your afterthought

Your afterthought

Your after—
