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!
