| 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! |
