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
I'm the 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 that crossed 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 pane that you look right through
Your silver tongue left me lost In a thin dust
Left 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 that crossed 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 that crossed your mind
The last thing you left to die and rot
Won't be your afterthought
Your afterthought!
Your afterthought!
I'm the eyes that you find In a faceless crowd
I'm the 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 that crossed 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 pane that you look right through
Your silver tongue left me lost In a thin dust
Left 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 that crossed 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 that crossed your mind
The last thing you left to die and rot
Won't be your afterthought
Your afterthought!
Your afterthought!
