Afterthought (Scrapped Song) Lyrics by James Marriott

Are We There Yet? (Digital Version)

2023

[Verse 1]
Your presence is overdue, so why even try?
I can't seem to read you, hard as I might
You'll hear my advice but won't listen
You lean on the window sill, push the hair from your eye
Your language is overkill, but then who am I?
I look at your lips but not listen, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm not even your afterthought
So it's all well and good
Trying your hardest to please me
When you would if you could
I hope that I won't be left, I hope that I won't be left
I hope that I won't be left here without you
[Verse 2]
You have no guarantee, you sick lullaby
Sit here next to me and tell me a lie
Pretend that you made a decision
I'm never gonna win, never gonna win here 'cause
I will depict you climbing too far, she said
"You look fat when you stand like that"
I guess I could change my position, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm not even your afterthought
So it's all well and good
Trying your hardest to please me
When you would if you could
I hope that I won't be left, I hope that I won't be left
I hope that I won't be left here, without you
[Bridge]
But you're never here
When I need you to be
Don't pretend that you care
Don't pretend that you care to exist for me
[Chorus]
I'm not even your afterthought
So it's all well and good
Trying your hardest to please me
When you would if you could
I hope that I won't be left, I hope that I won't be left
I hope that I won't be left here, without you
I'm not even your afterthought
So it's all well and good
Trying your hardest to please me
When you would if you could
I hope that I won't be left, I hope that I won't be left
I hope that I won't be left here, without you
