Afterthought

I've been hearing from our circle
That you're coming here tonight
Back from where you disappeared to
Making up for lost time
They say you keep on asking
What I'm doing these days
But I need to remind myself
You've no desire to change
I'm your afterthought baby
That's all I'll be
Just an afterthought baby
Always you before me
Your words feel heavy
They pull at my trigger
But it's knowing I'm your afterthought
That kills me
It kills me
I've been told you're on your way
That you're running behind
Hours pass you never show
But what hurts is you lie
You think your somehow protecting me
But you're only making it worse
Keep telling people one thing
Then go and do the reverse
I'm your afterthought baby
That's all I'll be
Just an afterthought baby
Always you before me
Your words feel heavy
They pull at my trigger
But it's knowing I'm your afterthought
That kills me, me, me
It kills me, me, me
See I fell blind
Didn't use my mind
When my chest grew tight
Still, you wouldn't fight
Were on the side line
Just killing time
Killing time
I'm your afterthought baby
That's what you made me be
Just an afterthought baby
I don't have to believe
Your words may feel heavy
They pull at my trigger
But knowing I'm your afterthought
Won't kill me me me
Won't kill me, me, me (pull at my trigger)
You'll be the afterthought
Won't kill me (pull at my trigger)
You'll be the afterthought
Won't kill me (pull at my trigger)
You'll be the afterthought

Meet me at the Queen's Head
By our table where we first met
I got something to say
No it can't wait
Like who do you think you are
In your midlife crisis car?
Think you're a real gentleman
This I can't understand
Did you mean what you said you meant
Or did I misread the intent?
Guess that's just what happens when
You're living and loving at 20%
You keep living and loving
You keep living and loving
You keep you're living and loving at 20%
20%
20%
We grab dinner with a few drinks
You said it's hard for you to feel things
Is that my fault or yours
Or your parents' divorce?
Has your happiness all been spent?
Is that why you fuck your close friends?
Guess that's just what happens when
You're living and loving at 20%
You keep living and loving
You keep living and loving
You keep you're living and loving at 20%
20%
20%
All this don't add up
And baby that don't count for much
You've always been a numbers guy
I need hundred in life
Did you mean what you said you meant (mean what you said you meant)
Or did I misread the intent (misread the intent)
Guess that's just what happens when
You're living and loving at 20%
You keep living and loving
You keep living and loving
You keep living and loving at 20%
20%
20%
You keep living and loving at 20%
You keep living and loving at 20%
You keep living and loving at 20%
20%

Hating on a Heartache
03:46
|
|||

Nearly 4am the door’s been slammed
Our heart to heart got out of hand
A screaming match where I gave you my worse
But it’s different cos I made you doubt
My attachment style has pushed you out
I still can’t tell you my reasons
Oh I’ve never been so loved
Like I am by you
No you won’t understand
Unless I let you
I’m hating on a heartache
Not you
Yeh you’re no stranger
Still I linger on old wounds
I’m hating on a heartache
That’s got nothing on you
But it ain’t as easy to be
Light and breezy when you lose
Saw you with that eyebrow raise
Saying ‘why you gotta be that way?
We don’t talk like we used to.’
Guess I’m terrified I’ll leave you torn
Be the cause that fucked it all
When your kindness was only there to please
Oh I can’t lay it on thick
Cos I’m scared that I’ll end up without
I know it doesn’t seem it
But I need you around
I’m hating on a heartache
Not you
Yeh you’re no stranger
Still, I linger on old wounds
I’m hating on a heartache
That’s got nothing on you
But it ain’t as easy to be
Light and breezy when you lose
Oh, I gotta let you know
Grab my keys with a jacket to go
Oh, I gotta let you see
I’ll tell you my reasons
If you let me
I’m hating on a heartache
Not you
Yeh you’re no stranger
Still, I linger on old wounds
I’m hating on a heartache
That’s got nothing on you
But it ain’t as easy to be
Light and breezy when you lose
I’m hating on a heartache
On a heartache
On a heartache
I’m hating on a heartache
On a heartache
On a heartache
I’m hating on a heartache

Saw you in a video from summer ‘97
Family trip to your coastal heaven
A vintage treasure I’m too young
To remember
It’s hard to sit by and watch you living your life
Hearing your voice with a smile starts to water my eyes
If it’s the last, I speak
To your heart that beats
Could I have this minute
Be forever in it
So, nothing can change
If this is all we have
Promise I won’t get you mad
Just hold me for that minute
We can fall right in
So, you’ll always know
That I’ll always love you
After the end
In the moving pictures the tide comes in
I run to you to find safety again
Holding me in your favourite coat
To warm me
Overcome by emotion I can’t seem to get off my chest
Keep hitting repeat cos I don’t wanna ever forget
If it’s the last, I speak
To your heart that beats
Could I have this minute
Be forever in it
So, nothing can change
If this is all we have
Promise I won’t get you mad
Just hold me for that minute
We can fall right in
So, you’ll always know
That I’ll never stop telling the stories I’m told
Cos you’ll always be the angel with a heart of gold
Even after the end
After the end
Oh, if it’s the last I speak
To your heart that beats
Could I have this minute
Be forever in it
So, you’ll aways know
If this is all we have
Promise I won’t get you mad
Just hold me for that minute
We can fall right in
So, you’ll always know
That I will love you after the end
I’ll always love you after the end
After the end
After the end
After the end
After the end

Love Condition
02:25

It always starts with a big thrill
Then goes a hundred to nil
My mind kicks into overkill
Can’t seem to know how I feel
How I feel
Flags are flying but they’re never white
I know there’s something wrong
But can’t make it right
That’s my love condition
To let you in then turn you away
I’m intermittent
Can’t speak what you want me to say
Change position
Let you in but don’t ask you to stay
I’d be lying if I said this never happened before
Soon as I have it, I don’t want it no more
That’s my love condition
My my my my love condition
My my my my
Say it can’t end like it did before
Still, I leave with a made-up cause
Can never see it right through
No wonder you’re alone and confused
Me too
Flags still fly but they’re never white
I’ll make you feel at home
But only for a night
That’s my love condition
To let you in then turn you away
I’m intermittent
Can’t speak what you want me to say
Change position
Let you in but don’t ask you to stay
I’d be lying if I said this never happened before
Soon as I have it, I don’t want it no more
That’s my love condition
Still can’t give you a reason
Why I scare myself so frequent
They say it’s soon kind of sickness
Calling it my love condition
That’s my love condition
To let you in then turn you away
I’m intermittent
Can’t speak what you want me to say (want me to say)
Change position
Let you in but don’t ask you to stay
I’d be lying if I said this never happened before (no more)
Soon as I have it, I don’t want it no more (no more)
That’s my love condition
My my my my love condition
My my my my
I’d be lying if I said this never happened before
Soon as I have it, I don’t want it no more
