Story behind the song
This song was written about a guy I used to date that always put me last in his life. I became more and more frustrated because he would call me at the end of the day late at night after the day was through. I am sure some of you can relate to this.
Lyrics
Afterthought
Words and music by Tammy Edwards (c)2003 ASCAP
I think I’ve got it
I’ve figured it out
I’m tired of chasing you all around
You made it so clear
You don’t need me
When I’m the last thing you wanna see
I've tried to tell you
Time and again
You never listen
It doesn't sink in
What will it take to realize
How much you hurt me with all of your lies
Chorus
I’m just an afterthought
Some kind of somethin’
On your back burner
Till you come runnin’
Well I won’t sit
I’m not gonna wait
Cause I’ve got more than what it takes
To be your afterthought
You like to keep me
Just within reach
But leave me cryin myself to sleep
I've gotta tell you
I'm not the kind
To go along on this emotional ride
Chorus
Bridge
Maybe you think it through
Give me a reason to keep hangin’ on
I need to see a change
You’ve got to rearrange or baby I’m gone
Chorus
