"Afterthought" lyrics - THE INTERRUPTERS

THE INTERRUPTERS
"Afterthought"

Well I guess you're just another raindrop
In the puddle of my pain
Dancing off the rooftops, down the gutter
To the drain

[Pre-Chorus:]
And I'm the bolt of lightning
Tearing through your darkest sky
The storm on the horizon, speaking truth
To all your lies

[Chorus:]
So thank you for the heartbreak
Thank you for the pain
Thank you for the bruises, thank you for my broken brain
'Cause I made it through the battle stronger than I used to be
And now you're just an afterthought
You're just an afterthought to me
Just an afterthought to me

After the sad songs of my childhood
You were a warm, familiar tune
You cut me deeper than the ocean
Then I poured whiskey in my wounds

[Pre-Chorus:]
Yeah, you tore me into pieces
Just to keep your demons fed
You're not the man my mama prayed for
You're who the devil sent instead

[Chorus:]
So thank you for the heartbreak
Thank you for the pain
Thank you for the bruises, thank you for my broken brain
'Cause I made it through the battle stronger than I used to be
And now you're just an afterthought
You're just an afterthought to me
Just an afterthought to me

[Chorus:]
Thank you for the heartbreak
Thank you for the pain
Thank you for the bruises, thank you for my broken brain
'Cause I made it through the battle stronger than I used to be
With the sword of an archangel always there defending me
From the fire on your tongue and the serpent in your eyes
You were always seeing red, I can't believe I'm still alive
Trying way too many nights to burn and kill those memories
And now you're just an afterthought
You're just an afterthought to me
You're just an afterthought to me

[Outro:]
Yeah, yeah
I guess you're just another raindrop
In the puddle of my pain
