Aftertaste Lyrics by Tarquin Alexandra

Pretend EP

2018

[Verse 1]
It used to be just the aftertaste
But now the flavours just leak into my conscious state
And every smile that I have to fake
Gets more exhausting the more I see her take my place
[Pre-Chorus]
All I see
Is who I used to be
While I waste away
Save me for another day
When she’s around
My heart hits the ground
And I disappear
A memory from another year
[Chorus]
I hope I wasn’t just a phase
I hope I haven’t been replaced
I hope I’m not just another aftertaste
My life will never be the same
I hope you don’t forget my name
Don’t let me melt away into an aftertaste
Aftertaste
Oh an aftertaste
Aftertaste
Don’t let me melt away into an aftertaste
An aftertaste
Aftertaste
[Verse 2]
I’ve always been just a waste of space
I’m just a filler ‘till someone better comes your way
And people say what they wanna say
So I’ll keep waiting here until someone else gets tired of me
[Pre-Chorus]
All I see
Is who I used to be
While I waste away
Save me for another day
When she’s around
My heart hits the ground
And I disappear
A memory from another year
[Chorus]
I hope I wasn’t just a phase
I hope I haven’t been replaced
I hope I’m not just another aftertaste
My life will never be the same
I hope you don’t forget my name
Don’t let me melt away into an aftertaste
Aftertaste
Oh an aftertaste
Aftertaste
Don’t let me melt away into an aftertaste
An aftertaste
Aftertaste
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s inevitable
It might just be fate
Should I just accept that my heart
Is destined for pain
My life will never be the same
[Chorus]
I hope I wasn’t just a phase
I hope I haven’t been replaced
I hope I’m not just another aftertaste
My life will never be the same
I hope you don’t forget my name
Don’t let me melt away into an aftertaste
Aftertaste
Oh an aftertaste
Aftertaste
Don’t let me melt away into an aftertaste
An aftertaste
Aftertaste
