about

‘Afterthought’ is an alt indie-pop banger that revisits and reflects on the red flags of a past relationship.

“I wrote Afterthought about dating someone who never thinks about you in their decisions, showing a clear disregard and disrespect to the person they are dating’s but wouldn’t dare treat their mates that way. They are the ones who can’t help dropping you a What’s app to ‘check in’, expecting you to ‘be mother’ as they drift in and out of your life refuelling their confidence. It has nothing to do with bitterness it is about self-reflection and growth. Time really is a healer and only on reflection do you realise that some people will never change or take responsibility for their actions. I really want people to feel empowered to say, ‘fuck that, if you don’t treat me right, you don’t get to be in my life”. I know that is easy said than done, especially when the heart is involved but I am trying to adopt that as one of my dating mantras for sure. “

lyrics

I’ve been hearing from our circle
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

Instrumental break

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
Wont’ kill me (pull at my trigger)
You’ll be the afterthought
