afterthought Lyrics

So is this how it ends? A wave in the night

As you're driving in your car

Left at the bend, then two taillights

Shrinking slowly in

The dark, the dark

Take me back to the start

Before, before

All the lies that we swore

When there's so much to say

But it won't matter anyway

No you're not, you're not

Ever my afterthought

As I look behind, at your face glowing red

I fake a smile just a little too hard

And run every line of words that you said

Hits me flying through

The dark, the dark

Take me back to the start

Before, before

All the lies that we swore

When there's so much to say

But it won't matter anyway

No you're not, you're not

Ever my afterthought

When I saw you at the party, when you asked me for the time

When you held me in the morning, when you kissed me in the night

When I'm crying in the doorway, when I'm begging please don't go

When you're driving down the highway, when I never even know

So is this how it ends? Halfway from home

I guess they say it happens that far

Followed the bend right off the road

Sirens ringing in

The dark, the dark

Take me back to the start

Before, before

All the lies that we swore

When there's so much to say

But it won't matter anyway

No you're not, you're not

Ever my afterthought
