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 there'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 afterthought
